Is Little Owl a ground owl like Burrowing.?
If not, seems like it would be in the nearby woods.
I can't really tell from the internet.  It does nest in cavities according
to the internet.

Great.   It was tucked in late today.  While it is very likely a Burrowing
Owl, the views I had of it did not show as much white over the bill as I
expect for Burrowing Owls.  Maybe it is an age-related thing.  But just for
fun, see the links.  The white over the bill seems to be variable on Little
Owls.
