Who Are You?

Burrowing Owl -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline, Oakland, CA
Canon EOS Rebel T5i, EF-S 55-250mm Zoom Lens, 1/320s, f/6.3, ISO: 800
I took this picture yesterday on my way to work, and while it only captures a small part of the appearance of the bird, I think it also captures a lot of the spirit of the burrowing owl.  I always look out for these potato-shaped birds on the mornings I stop by the shoreline, and it's been over a month since I last saw one.  Last time I saw an owl it had to duck into its hole to avoid being nabbed by a cooper's hawk.  I was afraid the hawk had gotten it.  Maybe it did?  This could be a different bird, I guess.
