Burrowing Owls nest in open areas in a burrow dug by other animals such as ground squirrels. Owls may nest alone or in a group. The female lays 6-12 eggs that are incubated for 28-30 days.

What month do burrowing owls lay eggs?

The nesting season is from February to August. Courtship displays include flashing white markings, cooing, bowing, scratching, and nipping; the male performs display flights. Eggs are laid a day apart, and are incubated by the female for 28 to 30 days.

How often do burrowing owls reproduce?

Usually a monogamous bird, the males occasionally have two mates. The female bird lays an egg every 1 or 2 days until its clutch size (of 4-12 eggs) completes. The incubation period of these owls is 28-30 days. Although most of the eggs hatch, only 4-5 of the juvenile chicks survive before they are ready to fly.
