This will take two posts. Sorry for that
I am a surveyor and am currently building a subdivision in Anthony Tx. and there has been this Chihuahuan Burrowing owl that has adopted a piece of water line as his new home. He has run off many workers already. HA HA
I had a trick though, So I have been giving Him/Her a rat fuzzy every other day. Today I brought My camera, cuz I knew some would not believe how close I can get to this thing, and three fuzzies for some pics.
These are from about 10-12 feet. The first one is no zoom..........
Then i went to the other side and got within 5-7 feet of Him/Her for these shots. I even reached out and plopped the other two pups in front if him/her, and he/she looked the other way, was all the reaction I got. Again, first one no zoom..........
