Birds Owl Guards His Underground Home
A burrowing owl stands near its burrow in Davie, Florida, on April 27, 2026. These owls are known to scatter animal dung around their burrow entrances to attract dung beetles, a favored food source. Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are active during the day and often nest in underground tunnels dug by prairie dogs or tortoises. (Photo by Ronen Tivony/NurPhoto)
