Burrowing owl
Every once in a while, I stop by a cattle pasture near Belleview to check in on a family of burrowing owls that live there. Burrowing owls make their nests underground, even using the holes of gopher tortoises. One way to find where these and other birds have been previously spotted is to check eBird.org, a website run by the ornithology department at Cornell University.
