Burrowing Owl

I found this little guy hiding in a storm drain in Morro Bay.  A local rancher tells me that drainage pipes are a common hiding place for burrowing owls.

Photos are taken with an old Pentax 135-600 mm zoom lens at 600 - it's a really back breaker to carry around - f8, 1/500 sec, ISO 800 at 100 ft.  I wish I had a "crisper" long lens, but can't justify spending $5K or more for a really good lens.
