These burrowing owls in Cape Coral live there year round. They are literally everywhere…in peoples yards…in EVERY soccer and baseball complex. Since they are only 9 inches tall at adulthood the city marks the burrows with PVC pipes so no one mows over them.
He’s posing for the photo! Interesting markings. Camouflage amongst the white flowers.
WHen we first got there and were looking for them, if they were sorta in the burrow we didn’t even see them until they moved. Then we realized what we were looking for. THEN if you wait long enough they’ll come out.
What a beautiful bird.
THanks! This bird has been on my bucket list to shoot. They are really cute.
