A wink (burrowing owl and june bug)

Late morning snack... This little burrowing owl winked at me as if asking: "Want a piece of this bug? Well... you're getting none" :-)

I looked them up and it's seems they're commonly mistaken for each other. It could be either since both are found in the area borrow owls are. I don't think I've ever seen either, personally. Both look pretty neat though.

Burrowing owls are the most superb owls. I'm prepared to fight over this.

(Burrowing Owls are not Australian, but this one watched too much Ozzy Man. It is also exceptionally rude)
