We used to have an burrowing owl that would play tag with our dog. Owl would hop on our backyard fence and swoop on the dog (decent medium sized pupper and the owl never used their claws or beak, so the owl clearly wasn’t hunting), and our dog would chase him back onto the fence, tail wagging. They’d spend every morning playing around with this back and forth before they both went to do their own thing.

That backward jump was wonderful 0:51

That second owl knows how to land on style 😂

Thank you. I am pleased so many people have enjoyed watching the owls.

We have Burrowing Owls a few blocks from my house here in south central AZ. They are cute little owls, and the male starts flapping his wings and yapping at me when I get the least bit close. In respect for them, I keep my distance.

Blue sky, sun, green grass, Burrowing Owls....It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us in the frozen tundra

Owls are the most fascinating of all the birds!

0:06 Laughing Owl

At the beginning you can hear him laugh

Those huge gorgeous eyes and robotic movement of the head never gets old!

They are so cute!!, I love the noises that they make :-) Thanks for sharing this great moment.

I love how they hoot when coming in for a landing!

Yesterday my daughter and I got a good look at one of these guys. Not knowing that they were active night and day, I was surprised to see an owl in broad daylight eyeing potential prey at a local creek. I didn't get any pictures or video as we were very, very close and I was trying not to alert the owl to our presence. My daughter was too excited, and she whispers loudly-like a kid would. The owl zeroed in on our location. It took in the situation as it obviously was deciding if we were a threat to itself or it's hunting. Finally, looking annoyed, it took off and landed upstream-much to the dismay of some mockingbirds.

Love Burrowing Owl, had some in our yard when I was a kid. It was fun watching them.

There seriously needs to be a “love” button on KZfaq. The owls are so adorable!!! Thank you for sharing them with us. 🥰🥰🥰

They are so fascinating to watch and your film has such excellent clarity. Thank you!

I had a dream of an owl and it was so detailed from the yellow eyes and yellow beak, brown and tan speckles and even the shape of the head. It was surely this burrowing owl. It was watching over me from outside of a window. I didn’t understand the dream but I did get the sense of protection and power and that the owl wanted me to see him. He did feel masculine in my dream. What drove me confused was I didn’t picture owls to look like this So I wasn’t sure this owl actually exist. Then after telling my dream to several people someone said it must have been my animal spirit. I was surprised to see this owl actually exist and it looks exactly to the T what my dream owl looked like. Then just days after the dream there was a huge billboard on the side of this building with this same owl and it gave me a rush. Coincidence or signs I don’t know but this owl is fascinating to me now.

Studied Westerns for years. I adore these little guys. Glad I found this video today. Thanks!

HOOO! they are so cute!

They know how to make an entrance for sure tho

These are my favorite kind of owls. They're so stinkin cute!

Thank you so much for this video! From the Little Owl to the great Eagle Owl, these are the most fascinating creatures on the planet. So free, so powerful and so amiable!

This is so darn cute.

Has to be the cutest creature I’ve ever seen

To watch, to learn and to have big fun. Thank you for this beautiful video.

These are the coolest owls. Thanks for sharing

Wow, how wonderful these Owls are. It's such a coincidence that I have just loaded a video of Little Owls and they appear to be very similar looking Owls. I love it when the Burrowing Owl walks up from the burrow and is looking all around for predators. Then when one returns, the other is on a post watching for prey. I love the digging out of any loose sand too. Finally, those still shots at the end are superb. It's a great video and thanks you for sharing. ◕‿◕

0:33 SAFE!

Hey it’s Digger! 😂

We had a large family of them that lived at our old home in Davie, Fl. right off hiatus and I75 they would be in the driveway greeting us every night never saw them much in the day though.

Owls in movies: scary have huge scary eyes make scary noises and attack you Owls in real life: 0:03

I grew up in Cape Coral, there was a burrowing owl nest in the field next to my bus stop. I loved watching them every morning.

He is so cuite lovely owls

Burrowing owls are adorable

The new Grass starter Pokemon lol

When he came he sounded like he was laughing

Appreciate these photos! Amazing stills at the end. Thanks very much for posting!

I live in Cape Coral, several burrowing owls around the area.

Outstanding video and stills. I'm envious; have been on numerous treks to spot these little guys and have only seen one once. Hope springs eternal! 😊

I am in Cape Coral and last year there were two empty lots had burrows for the owls just across the street.. they are all back again this year. Counted 8 on one lot. Very cute.

i just really really really really really really love them okay

0:06 laughing owl XD

so beautiful! loved the backward jump :)

They’re so beautiful❤️

Great video! A park near our house has a burrowing owl habitat. I just found out about it today. My daughter and I are photographers and birdwatchers, so we'll be hooting it up with the owlets tomorrow!

This video is awesome !! Thanks a lot !!

Beautiful.

Name's digger!... Hollow's this way!

There are burrowing owls in Mexico too. They also share their breeding areas with Arizona.

I'm vacationing in Cape Coral right now and saw a pair on a site that looked just like this one. I got curious and I'm glad I found out what they are. They are beautiful.

Truly amazing, thanks for sharing, and protecting👍

Well done. Thank you.

Awsum video! Thanks for taking the time to make and share it. In doing so you have obviously brought much joy to many people. I love owls. I live in N. California. Occasionally I will go for walks at night out in the country. There is a spot by the creak I like a lot becouse there are a lot of great horned owls in the area. Its almost impossable to see them but you can hear them everywhere. Sitting by the creak at night listening to at least a half dozen of them hoo hooting is absolutely mystical.

Love watching these little ones 💖

What a beautiful video, I enjoyed it a lot

The sky is looking they are soooooo happy with sunshine

Hi there, great video! What a unique bird, when one thinks of owls (me) an image of a night predator residing in trees comes to mind! I hope these little guys are protected from the destruction of mankind, I saw the movie "Hoot" last night. Good times! EML Arlington, Va.

I remember i was on my way to school and i would just hop over my backyard wall bc my school wasnt that far only 3 minutes away and while on my way i have to cross through the desert and right as i get to this area of burrows under a bush sure enough 2 little owls came speeding out. They were obviously spooked of me we had a stand off i surely just walked away slowly but i loved owls ever since

Wow great video. Luv it. Elohim created these creatures so beautiful, smart, and perfect.

I love it how he laughs

AND This is why these Adorable Beauties are protected. :)

0:52 What a trick!

Beautiful birds

Absolutly stunning video

0:31 Owl 1: “Duuuude!” Owl 2: *as he flies in* “IIIIIIII’m HERE! What’d I miss?”

Thank you so much I see them everywhere in Buckeye hunting but never could see them up close

That mad scientist laughter at the start 😂

I'd never heard of them before. Luckily someone tweeted this link.

Awesome video! Thank you so much!!

never heard or seen these owls before. they sound like dogs barking. great shots of them at the end

Great video!

how does the nest on the ground not get invaded by land predators such as fox coyote fisher...household cats etc ...?? thumbs up on great footage !!

Owls are so funny lol

both are looking hungry 🦉🦉

Burrows will form a good shelter for them as they can handle snakes well when they tredspass.

I had Burrowing owls living in my side yard, they used to greet me by my garage every morning when I came from work and would follow me as I walked to the mailbox

Amazing

When I first heard one of these doing a mating call, I low-key thought it was a coyote in heat.

Adorable

louder with crowder sent me here

hoooooo... HOHOHOHOHOHOHOH

always interesting to watch :)

I live in West Tx we have some of these owls on our land.

These are birds we associate with the southern prairies. So glad they are well in your area too. But... Why do they always look so damn concerned? Can you imagine one as a customer?
