All About Florida's Burrowing Owls

- Burrowing owls live in the human-dominated landscapes of southern Florida.
SNRE PhD student Liz Rose studies them.
In this video, she shares her work and tells us what we need to know!
Missed in the credits--Thanks to Alli Smith for the baby owl footage!

She's on a five minute monologue and the whole time the owl is thinking:
"Hey ! I got kids to feed !!"
Agree with you 100%. She was just wasting owl's time. The male owl needs to feed the female & their youngsters. I was like...uh no more talk & let him go
Saw my very first one this afternoon in my yard in FL where I have a birdbath and bird feeder set up. It was amazing and I had to look online to find out what type of owl it is. I feel like my dominant animal spirit is the owl, I look a lot like them honestly and tend to see things intuitively that others don't for some reason. Anyway! It was pretty incredible to look eyes with this owl, and during the day too! It gave me such a rush of happiness and pure awe throughout my body and soul!! I have left a lot of my yard undisturbed and overgrown this summer so there is a lot of wildlife. (Bunny rabbits, birds of all types; bluejays, cardinals, finches, blackbirds, redbellied woodpeckers, redheaded woodpeckers, and I knew there were owls at night but this was my very first time seeing a little burrowing owl. It was so small and I fell in love lol
:)
So lucky !!! I seem them ina golf course ....too adorable....
you look like them? so you have yellow eyes and cover your house with cow poo?
"I was abducted by aliens! I swear!"
GOD BLESS you
I would really like an update 😂 this was a very refreshing video or maybe I'm just bored out of my mind at work 😂
Great !
Owls are important
Thx for your hard work
I am a licensed falconer meaning you have jumped through a bunch of hoops by the Feds, pass a 100 questionnaire, have to have a falconer sponsor you for 2 years and your facilities are inspected by a game warden. You first start out with capturing a wild, immature Redtail hawk, take it home and jess it up, sit with it for hours on your glove until s/he leans its head down and eats food all the while you are not paying attention. With the hawk bending its head to get the food from your cloth, shows that she is learning to trust you. Training goes on for about 5 weeks until the bird flies to you when you blow whistle on command. A lot is involved in getting to that process. Once the bird does that, it is time to release her up into a tree, call her down a few times to the glove and then go hunting. She follows on as you scare up rabbits or squirrels for her to hunt. At end of hunt, you call her down to the glove, and you go home. A lot is involved in the training and much dedication. Then you can move on to other birds of prey after successful 2 years. I moved on to other hawks, falcons and then owls. I release wild caught birds back to the wild and move on. I have had Great Horned Owls, European Eagle Owls (not from USA and cannot be released back to the wild as they are not indigenous to the USA. I have a male who is 6 years old. He lives in a large indoor facility as well as having a large outdoor facility. I now have a Burrowing Owl who is captive bred. The mating pair has about 6 babies, as many are killed. Their habitat is getting sparse due to progress. This the problem with the Barn Owl as well. They are losing their barns to nest in and the land to hunt due to progress. Now they and many other birds of prey have another enemy.....big turbines which kill them when it is not proven of global warming. It certainly is not global warming in my state with below normal temps in Nov, Dec, Jan, Fed, March, April and part of May. I know because my husband is a vegetable farmer and sells his produce locally. Farms are being bought up to grow Houses! No one wants to work on the farm. It is hard work. So there you have it. Man is destroying birds of prey either by vehicles (80 percent are killed their first year) or habitats are being destroyed.
I know this is an old video but ....at 4:55 while a part of me wanted to laugh at his bewildered facial expression- another part of me feels really bad for this little guy...He is absolutely gobsmacked terrified! While i think it’s amazing what they are doing, was it really necessary to have a full on conversation about why you are doing what you’re doing while holding him? How about recording all of that information after you have released him back? I don’t think he really needed to hear all of that. The look on that poor little owls face says it all. :(
So cute!!!
Adorable animals
That thumbnail is adorable
Do some of the specimens of this species have short ear tufts of about a quarter to a half inch long?
Wow This lady is doing great work! Not to mention shes beautiful! Inside and out!
Have yall seen the invasive iguana group that has been helping project perch in South Florida?protect the burrowing owls.they have a channel sunset aquatics here on RUclips they dispatch lots of invasive iguana that have been eating eggs and harming nest of the owls. Bravo
Owl thought:WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!?!?!
He looked so stupid(ly cute) @4:55, lmao
4:54 WHAT'S HAPPENING???
Does invading the existing burrows, capturing the male father figures, tagging them and putting them back ever cause the owls to retreat to new territory? After being handled by a strange giant being do they get nervous and decide to lea e the burrow for good for a new one where they havent been handled.. or do they not really think anything of it? And just go back about their life in the burrow already dwelling in
These owls live around the property i have my kennels on! The ones that live in that area are not afraid of a human for the most part unless u get loud and make alot of movement.
they perch on my outside chairs & occasionally at dusk you will have to shake the chair to get a seat! they are interesting lil creatures i enjoy their company!
We should mate for life too. Why do so many women divorce the men they chose to marry?
There’s nothing cute about this terrified owl! It’s disgusting the way she is handling him, like he’s just some plaything!! Think about how stupid it is that we humans capture these animals which TERRIFIES them, put a tracking device on them which is possibly painful, just so we can study them? Why? ??? “Manage them,” she says. Why do humans think they need to manage every goddamn thing on the planet?
“Oh look, he’s terrified, but it’s so cute!” There is nothing cute about this.
And then she puts him in his little sack and holds him upside down while she continues to ramble on about her little project and her data.
Easy Aubrey! Remember your blood pressure ❤️
You don’t understand how wild animal populations and research work do you? Also. That owl absolutely could hurt her if he felt as scared as you think he is. He’s most likely decided, like most predator species, that things are pretty okay for right now and it’s not worth the energy to fight her. Chill.
@@sadirasturdevant4128 he was defenseless with her holding his feet back. While i totally respect the research they were doing - She didn’t need to go into a full on monologue about what they were doing and why. Could have easily returned him first and then let us know all of that info. The look on his face, while funnyAF visually - really says a lot about how he was feeling in that moment, and he wasn’t laughing!
this planet is for us to exploit and use for survival, we are the most advanced species of this planet so he have the right to make it and its lesser life forms work for us.
