Can be seen from Late March until late October. They will return
year after year to the same praire dog colony. True to its name,
the Burrowing Owl nests in a hole in the ground. Although it is
quite willing to dig its own burrow, it often uses one already
provided by prairie dogs, skunks, armadillos, or tortoises. It is a
state endangered species in Colorado. Information provided by May
