Why is the burrowing owl endangered?

Burrowing owls are usually threatened because humans will bulldoze over their burrows without even knowing that there's anything there! The burrows will cave-in, suffocating the little owls inside.

First of all, they are losing their habitat to land development because flat land is a great place to build anything. Also, roads area big danger. Since they are one of the only owls who live on the ground, they have more chance of being hit by a car. Recent studies say that there are less than 20,000 owls in the wild.

The burrowing owl is not an endangered species at all. The state of Florida estimates there are over 10,000 of these owls in Florida alone. The population in the US cannot be less than 50,000, and since the bird's range extends into South America, it can safely be shown to be no less than 100,000 (at least) in the wild.
