Burrowing Owl Sleeping

Sleeping burring owl and it’s all about the eye lashes.

This burrowing owl kept winking at me and I was wondering what was going on. When getting the photos on my computer realized that he was falling asleep. Haven’t seen a sleeping burrowing owl before so this was a treat, especially after seeing those eye lashes. Adorable.

Taken with Canon 1DX and Canon 500mm F4 IS II with 1.4X III teleconverter, handheld out my car window.

1/2000 sec @ F5.6, ISO 800, evaluative metering, + 2/3 exposure compensation, 700mm

Thanks Joe. They are very abundant in Lubbock. Very tiny little owls but fun to photograph.
