jan 1, 1782 - Juan Molina discovers the Burrowing Owls
Description:
(Circa 1782)(Burrowing Owls were formally described by him when he was in Chile.)
"Once found all over the Americas, this small critter is now far more elusive. As their name suggests, these owls create large burrows for their nests instead of creating ones in trees. Burrowing owls like to live in prairies and open fields, where they can use old squirrel or badger holes for their nests."
