Burrowing Owl and Pampas Grass in Serra da Canastra NP, Brazil I just returned from a visit to South-east Brazil and one of the highlights was Serra da Canastra NP, featuring the amazing Brazilian Cerrado (Savanna). I shall be loading more pictures over the next few weeks of some of the amazing creatures I was able to photograph, but here is a great starter to set the mood. I love Burrowing Owls and they are very common and easy to see there. Athene cunicularia,Brazil,Burrowing Owl,Geotagged,Serra da Canastra,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

The burrowing owl, also called the Shoco, is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open, dry area with low vegetation.
