Burrowing owls , relocation , habitat

Maricopa, AZ(Zone 9b)

I do not have videos of my own but I found this neat site ;

http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/owlcam/b_owl.html

Scroll down about 3/4 of the way down the page and they have some video seqeunces of baby owls . #9 on the list is pretty funny .

We think #2 was the funniest. One of our kids said they reminded him a little bit of meerkats.

I had skipped around in viewing them and somehow missed # 2 . I have to agree that was/is my favorite . Though in #9 I liked how the one owlet got aggressive with the camera lens .

I saw that #9 and figured there was a bug on the outer casing of the video cam. By that time, they had to be accustomed to the video cam being there so why else would the little chick have come in that close to peck at it? Somebody stated they piled up manure in and around there humble abodes to be able to "farm" bugs so it made sense to me.

All in all, #2 was hysterical with the way his head swiveled around in its socket and then there was the other one in the background standing up to the right like a meerkat getting a peek which made it funnier.

Any interest in watching me build another burrowing owl habitat ? It is a pain to produce photos, post etc . , so if there is no interest I won't bother . Speak up if you want to see one under construction . anticipate starting in another week or two .
