 Burrowing
Owl Range MapThe Burrowing Owl breeds from southern interior British Columbia to southern Manitoba south through eastern Washington, central Oregon, and California to Baja California, east to western Minnesota, western Missouri, Oklahoma, eastern Louisiana, and south to Mexico and Central America; also in Florida. Winters throughout breeding range except for the northern portions in the Great Basin and Great Plains regions. The Burrowing Owl prefers nonforested plains, grasslands, deserts and sometimes open areas such as vacant lots near human habitations or airports. Largely depends on mammals that dig burrows in open areas with short vegetation for nesting, roosting and for escape. Commonly perches on fence posts, bushes, utility wires, roadside billboards and burrow mounds. More information about the Burrowing Owl |
