Baby Burrowing Owl

We went back to Salton Sea in hopes of spotting some baby burrowing owls. We saw a few nests, and several smallish owls. Then Chris spotted this baby owl alone. We did see and hear several adult owls nearby. We left for a while and when we returned it was gone, so we are hopeful it found its burrow.



Here's some photos of some of the adults.

Burrowing Owls of Salton Sea

We went out to the desert to watch the meteor shower. We stayed in Borrengo Springs and the next morning we went out to the Salton Sea for birding with the primary goal of finding burrowing owls. After staying up for the meteor shower and getting up before sunrise to head to the Salton Sea, we now need a nap.
