Though I have had about a hundred unique visits to my blog today I have received only 2 suggested explanations for the apparent 'ear tufts' on the Burrowing Owl I photographed. One asked if it had been windy and suggested that the wind might have blown the feathers up on it's head. However, it was not windy as I recollected and there were grass stalks standing straight up near the bird so wind must not have blown much.
Just received an email from Christian Nunes who said that these were not ear tufts but just feathers that were amiss. Gosh, of all the hundreds of photos of Burrowing Owls I skimmed over today I guess I had the owl that could use some grooming.
