@anon6798@lemmy.world is singlehandedly keeping this place alive so I thought I'd also participate and share a photo I took last month. This is a burrowing owl I photographed on the grounds of a hotel in Brasilia. A couple of these guys made their burrow in a little ~~hole~~ hill at the bottom of the garden and were seemingly unbothered by hotel guests that were walking past. I have a couple of other shots but this is my favourite. Thanks for all your superb owl posts anon6789!

Great shot! I saw my first ever burrowing owl in Brazil, although in the Pantanal instead of Brasilia. After trying and failing multiple times to see them in the US, I spotted this one the first day I was in the Pantanal

Edit: spelling

Awesome you got to see them too, they're very charming! It's funny how some bird species are rare and skittish where you live, then you go to another country and they're just there and don't give a shit about you being around.
