Burrowing Owl Roadkill

Too Three Dimensional to Pass Up: photos of a road-killed Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) from Brewster Co, Texas (08/27/2010)

Some owl appreciation, in situ and in hindsight.  While roadkill is always a sad sight, there's so much to learn and usually a collection willing and able to accept specimens.

I'll backdate this post to put it in the sequence where it belongs, but for now, RIP, little buddy.
