    Burrowing Owls

    Great Pictures! I have been watching a pair of these owls, all summer, but don't have the camera [yet] to do them justice. Borrowing Owls are a " threatened" species, in Colorado, but we have several good prairie dog towns in the area. Thank you for sharing.

    Dove ID - Illinois, USA

    adaptable doves I live at 8000 feet ele., here in Gunnison Colorado. I have had these doves at my feeders all winter. We've had four feet of snow on the ground, for months, and sub-zero tempretures for most of the winter.....and these guys are thriving. No wonder they are spreading so quickly.
