This is the National bird of the island nation of Aruba. IF you have the eye - one can see them by the side of busy highways and in secluded beaches or alongside tracks made by the most notorious and  destructive sport - ATV OFF ROADING!

It is indeed gut wrenching to see these beautiful and harmless birds going down in numbers!!

Super sighting and pose Ramesh. Sad how some leisure pursuits are often in direct conflict with nature. Like the way you have isolated it.
Make your life spectacular!

Yes!  A lovely capture of this burrowing owl, Ramesh.
