3/07 Burrowing Owl • Willard Mo.


Rare bird alert • Burrowing Owl • Willard Mo.

Paul hadn't found anyone to help drive so I joined him and Fran for the drive to the other side of the state. We left about 10:15am and arrived at 2:30pm and rolling slowly up W. Pheasant, looking between houses, I spotted the Burrowing Owl under the edge of the far boardwalk at 2:35pm.

The Burrowing Owl is my 299th "Bird Species Photographed in Missouri".
