Burrowing Owls
Additional Information
Burrowing owls are small owls that live in the ground. They do not actually dig their own burrow but take over rodent dens and expand on them.
Burrowing owls are a fun addition to the ecosystem and help control pests. They eat rodents, snakes, doves, and anything else they can catch. They mate for life, live in family groups, and are very entertaining.
Unfortunately, as we continue to develop the land, these owls continue to lose their homes.
Burrowing owl dens are federally protected. If you notice a family of owls on or near a construction site, please alert the construction site foreman, AZ Game Thief 1-800-352-0700, and Wild At Heart so they can make sure the owls get properly relocated. Adult owls may be able to fly away, however the nesting babies are too young to leave the nest and get buried alive.
