Owl Guarding Its Burrow Birds Wildlife
A Burrowing Owl stands guard near its burrow in Davie, Florida. Burrowing Owls nest and roost in underground burrows and feed on insects, along with small lizards, mammals, and birds. When threatened, they produce a hissing sound that mimics a rattlesnake to scare off predators. (Photo by Ronen Tivony/NurPhoto)
