Just two owl species on this page, since I'm asleep when most of them are hunting. Hover over the photo series to control the images.

Strigidae: Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia)

I have lived in the Southwest, mostly, since 1969, and I didn't see my first burrowing owls until 2024.  Here are the only half-decent pictures I got of them. 

Strigidae: Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)
