Prairie Marmots….. UNTOUCHED IMAGE AND STRAIGHT FROM THE CAMERA ! Generally large ground squirrels, those most often referred to as marmots tend to live in mountainous areas such as the Alps, Carpathians, Tatra, and Pyrenees in Europe, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada in the United States, and Northern Canada. However, the groundhog is also properly called a marmot, while the similarly-sized but more social prairie dog is not classified in the genus Marmota but in the related genus Cynomys. Marmots typically live in burrows, and hibernate there through the winter. Most marmots are highly social, and use loud whistles to communicate with one another, especially when alarmed. Marmots mainly eat greens. They eat many types of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, roots and flowers.

These cute little Owls are found in South Florida as well as other parts of the State. They dig burrow nests in fields, in small colonies. They usually stand by their nest during the daylight hours, and tuck one of their legs under their feathers. This Owl was taken at a Little League Park just a short distance from my home in SW Florida. If you start digging a hole for them, they will finish the nest and live on your lawn. Even though they are used to people as they live in the cities, you can only get so close to them before they fly off. They usually hunt for food at night.

The burrowing owl, claims ground in Cape Coral, florida it is a protected bird, and they are flourishing now in this lovely town. Every owl here has a sign assigned to it.. showing its protected status, ..they are a joy to see. info found here Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size. The Burrowing Owl appears to be diurnal because it can often be seen foraging during the day. In fact, it hunts all day and night long and is most active in the morning and evening. It catches more insects during the day and more mammals at night. The Burrowing Owl sometimes is placed into its own genus (Speotyto). Genetic similarity and overall appearance unite it with the other members of Athene. These are the Little Owl of Eurasia and northern Africa, the Spotted Owlet of southeastern Asia, and the extremely rare Forest Owlet, known only from a handful of specimens and sightings in India. Although the Little Owl is found in deserts and open areas, it is not nearly as terrestrial as the Burrowing Owl. It usually nests in tree cavities, although it will use a hole in a building or wall, and sometimes nests in rabbit holes. The Burrowing Owl collects mammal dung and puts it in and around its burrow. The dung attracts dung beetles, which the owl then ca

I set out this morning with the intention of getting one of these guys in flight, a pretty difficult task, for me anyway. These little owls are lightning fast in flight and never fly in a straight or level line. I didn’t get the shot that I really want, but I did get this one. I bothered them enough and didn’t want to disturb them any longer. They are only about 10” tall and beautiful little guys. Shot in fhe fields of Marana AZ, this morning 12-6-08.

The Penguin Parade is located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, only 140 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. It is part of Phillip Island Nature Park. The area is a reserve designed to protect and promote awareness of Little Penguins (previously called Fairy Penguins). The first night I was on Phillip Island I went to the Penguin Parade. Each night at sunset, the world’s smallest penguins, the Little Penguins, emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows with bellies full of the days catch. I was amazed at how far they travel from their burrows. The elevated boardwalks and viewing stands allow you to enjoy all the ‘penguin action’ without disturbing them or their burrow homes. / I stayed on the platform and watched them for two hours, getting soaked in rain storms and freezing winds…........was worth it !!! And yes it was Summer LOL / / BTW you are not permitted to take any photographic equipment into the boardwalk/ platform area. This shot however was taken at The Nobbies area on the side of a cliff. The penguins are a bluish colour and are so adorable, was hard to leave. / Jan 08

as is from the camera burrowing Owl sony cybershot DSC H 7, hand held…... / 1/500s / ISO 100 / Cape Coral Florida Population Current population estimates are not well known but trend data suggests significant declines across their range. Last official estimated place them at less than 10,000 breeding pairs. / Range Burrowing owls are distributed from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the Canadian prairie provinces into South America. They are also found in Florida and the Caribbean islands. Burrowing owls have disappeared from much of their historic range. / Behavior Unlike other owls, burrowing owls are active during the day, especially in the spring when they gather food for their large broods. This species of owl prefers open areas with low ground cover. They can often be found perching near their burrow on fence posts and trees. Burrowing owls make a tremulous chuckling or chattering call. They also bob their heads to express excitement or distress. Burrowing owls often nest in loose colonies about 100 yards apart. Reproduction / Mating Season Early spring / Gestation 28 days / Clutch size 3-12 eggs / The young owls begin appearing at the burrow’s entrance two weeks after hatching and leave the nest to hunt for insects on their own after about 45 days. The chicks can fly well at 6 weeks old. / Threats The greatest threat to burrowing owls is habitat destruction and degradation caused primarily by land development. Despite their protected status, burrowing owls and their burrows are routinely destroyed during the development process. visit here for “source of info found here Burrowing owls are also threatened by agricultural development, the use of pesticides and efforts to eradicate prairie dogs, which live side by side with burrowing owls, in addition to natural predation by horned owls, hawks, foxes, badgers and even domestic pets. / Legal Status/Protection In the U.S., the burrowing owl is identified as a candidate species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In several states, they are considered a “species of special concern.” They are “endangered” in Canada. *Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

She just kept staring at me wondering what I wanted from her, this is the mother owl from the nest that I have watched over the years, her leg is bent she seems to have had some trauma, and yet she still remembers me when I come and sit with them, I like to sit and talk with the little guys they have so much personality, slowly she allows her little ones come out of the burrow, as each one does they look at me with the biggest of eyes, but she knows I am not there to harm her or her little ones Cape Coral, Florida
