Southern California is home to a small sub-species of the burrowing owl. From a distance when they are standing near their holes they can be mistaken for large squirrels.

We had a colony in Boca, on the FAU campus, but occasionally someone would report spotting them in their yard..

In the 70t's, when our kids were young, we would picnic in the field. They are curious little fellows..

Not so sure about "quiet". My wife and I camped, one night, up in Lockwood Valley, north of L.A. When we went to bed, a Screech Owl was posted over the tent all night! Pretty much the worst nights sleep I've ever had outdoors.
