From Kathy A King
Met up with the local residents at Sonny Bono NWR last night. I asked this little burrowing owl to give me his best “supermodel glare,” and boy, did he deliver! Talk about some serious side-eye. Always an entertainment with these guys!

The pose made me picture a matador. 🐂
“Do you see these talons? I’m not cute. I’m menacing. I’m not adorable. I’m dangerous! Do you know who my uncle is?!”
I guess this is what the youth mean with “short king.”
I like you, Stuart, you’re not like the other people here in the trailer park.
Yeah, but can your fancy eagle owl do this?!

Hey! Ha! Ho! Hey! Ha!
Old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be…
me clapping furiously, tears streaming down my face I can’t believe this magnificent display
It’s so dashing!
