Lechucitaas vizcacheras - Athene cunicularia - Burrowing Owl
Very abundant in the rural area of Mar del Plata, Argentina. We see it in all our trips to the countryside. It is a nice little owl, the only one that lives in burrows that often build themselves on earth. Unlike most owls and owls are very active during the day and easy to observe on a mound of earth, a fence or on a lamp post, standing on one foot, attentive to everything that happens around , and if they get upset or get excited for some reason they move up and down as if bowing. They fly with irregular spasmodic flaps and will often make long glides, interspersed with fast flutters.
