Where might you spot one?

The Western Burrowing Owl (Athene Cunicularia) breeds in southern Canada (all western provinces) and throughout the U.S. to Mexico. In Manitoba, the owls are mostly found in grassland and agricultural habitats. The Burrowing Owl nests in abandoned burrows that are excavated by digging mammals. They cannot dig their own burrows and cannot nest without a burrow so they rely on digging animals to dig burrows for them.
