What animals probably made the burrows for the owls Hoot?

The burrows for owls, such as the Eastern Screech Owl or the Barn Owl, are often created by small mammals like ground squirrels, prairie dogs, or rabbits. These animals dig extensive burrow systems that provide shelter and nesting sites. Owls may take advantage of these pre-existing burrows for nesting and protection from predators. Additionally, some owls may also use abandoned burrows or cavities made by larger animals.
