Photographers are being asked to keep their cameras in their bags when they come across burrowing owls, so they don't risk stressing out the endangered birds. Burrowing owls are considered one of the most endangered birds in Canada by the Canadian Wildlife Federation . McKinnon, who lives and works in Penticton, estimates there are only about 70 burrowing owls in B.C. Lia McKinnon is a biologist and a field manager for the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of B.C. Additionally, right now burrowing owls have owlettes in their nests, which means they should be out hunting to feed their young.
