The roar of the lion, the growl of the bear, and the owl goes...

Yawn.

This little Burrowing Owl had probably been out mouse hunting all night, and the mid-day sun was making him drowsy. Mom and the kids were on the other side of the burrow mound. The family was one breeding pair plus six juvenile birds.

I have photographed about forty burrowing owls before, and I had never seen one of them yawn... until this one. The little guy yawned in front of my lens about three times a minute for the twenty minutes that I was there. The mama bird didn't yawn. The babies just squeaked a little.

I'm tempted to get a mechanical windup mouse and turn it loose near the owl burrow, just to see the action.

I was shooting this with 800mm of lens.

Nice shot, Bob. Vicious-looking creature. ;) That's certainly a unique shot.

Very unusual shot, well done. I hope there were no predators around, the open mouth ruins his camouflage!
