Burrowing owl chicks
We’re not exactly sure what these burrowing owl chicks are doing, but it looks enough like a smooch that we’re using it to celebrate International Kissing Day. Burrowing owls, as their name implies, live underground, often in empty prairie dog tunnels, though some owls will dig their own living space. And if you want to impress your friends, let them know that the proper term for a baby owl is ‘owlet.’ As in, ‘Hold on, I’ll give you a kiss after you look at these owlets. They’re so cute!’
