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.

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

That backward jump was wonderful 0:51

That second owl knows how to land on style 😂

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!

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 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!

At the beginning you can hear him laugh

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

These are the coolest owls. Thanks for sharing

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.

They know how to make an entrance for sure tho

HOOO! they are so cute!

This is so darn cute.

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! 😊

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

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. ◕‿◕

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

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.

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.

The new Grass starter Pokemon lol

Hey it’s Digger! 😂

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

Thank you for lovely photos

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.

Your getting pretty good taking pictures of hooters!

So beautiful.

I saw them in a screen saver of windows. Now I searched this videos. 💚💚💚💛🧡

He is so cuite lovely owls

Burrowing owls are adorable

i just really really really really really really love them okay

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.

0:03 burrowing owl: hoo what are you doing here near my house? 1:37 burrrowing owl: hoo is stupid enoff to wake me up in the middle of the day? 1:56 also burrowing owl: hey stop the chitter chatter i am trying to sleep!

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.

so beautiful! loved the backward jump :)

0:33 SAFE!

what a charming little critter

What a beautiful video, I enjoyed it a lot

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

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.

When he came he sounded like he was laughing

They’re so beautiful❤️

The second owl flew up like what's up boys

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

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!

At Elf owls, everyone like "hey that's gylfie" At burrowing owls, nobody like "hey that's digger"

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

The sky is looking they are soooooo happy with sunshine

That mad scientist laughter at the start 😂

They are just the cutest (#So cute and the best) 😍 im in love with burrowing owls!!😍 so cute and FLUFFY

0:06 laughing owl XD

They are so funny hahaha and cute .i have one living in my back yard .he came one day suddenly apears and dont go

If you want to fall head over heels in love, buy a bird book, and start learning about the thousands of bird species we share this big blue marble with. It will blow your mind, and fifty sixty years from now you'll still be in love just like a teenager. It's part of a good education as much as arithmetic, and learning to read. Without knowledge of the creatures that make up our network of life we endanger ourselves severely. These guys are magnificent.

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

0:52 What a trick!

This is awesome!!!

always interesting to watch :)

Ela realmente sabe posar pra foto. muito lindo vídeo meus parabens

Always totally intense! Never any soap opera moments....

So here they ended up huh? Glad to know there are safe 😂

I live smack in the middle of Hollywood, Los Angeles there is a burrowing owl that has been in the middle of the street and on the fence posts two days in a row now. Always perching very low, and probably hunting bugs in the adjacent alleyway. From afar I noticed something standing up in the middle of the street and slowed to a stop. I spotted it again last night, so my bf and I watched it with our neighbors for one full hour until a car came up the street. Asshole driver did not slow down. The owl BARELY flew away then, at the last second, flew back directly in front of the moving car and disappeared from all of our views. Four of us stood there in shock and the mystery continues.

I love them 😍 so adorable

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?

both are looking hungry 🦉🦉
