Cute overload: Angela Farm- Burrowing Owls (11-1/2 min.)

[KY_EnviroGuy]

Witness a brood of 10 burrowing owl chicks mature on a huge wheat farm in Montana....

Never knew there's such a thing as burrowing owls, being raised around farmland in the South. I have enjoyed watching prairie dogs play outside my motel window during many service jobs in Wyoming.
