This is Ruby in full flight at the NBPC. Ulike most owls this tiny species spends most of its time on the ground. Burrowing owls are only about 8-10 inches tall and weigh between 5-6 ounces. So cute though but sadly is in decline in the wild.
1/1600 sec, f6.3, ISO200.
Aall comments welcome.

Wonderfully caught shot! I saw some of these in a reserve area on T.V. last week. They had half buried pieces of drain pipe in the ground to encourage the owls to stay and breed. Very funny when the footage showed a big owl overhead, The little burrow owl just popped in his drain pipe, out of site to live another day!
