Burrowing Owl

Species principle: Grounded Watch

Watch from the hole.

Home can be below the earth while the eyes stay wide on the horizon.

Burrowing Owls live in open habitats and use underground burrows, often made by other animals. They stand near burrow entrances on long legs and scan for predators or prey.
