Owl burrowing basic information

By maturity, Burrowing Owls are usually eight inches (24 centimeters) in length with a 22 inch wingspan.

Their chests are often darker, though they are spotted with white also. Their white undersides show a pattern of brown barring. The eyes are yellow, as are the beaks. The faces of Burrowing Owls are whitish, but are accented with brown circular markings. Juvenile Burrowing Owls usually have buff colored underparts.
