Here’s another shot from my recent trip down to Florida, and the town of Cape Coral, which has become well known for its rather conspicuous burrowing owl population. That’s mom in the background to the right. There were actually three almost-full-grown chicks but the third was hidden behind these two siblings.

No doubt plenty of natural wonders in the Sunshine State. These guys, although fairly common, are hard to spot because they’re only about the size of a can of Coke. Or Pepsi if you prefer.

That’s a great shot of the 3 owls, Sean!

So beautiful. I’m grateful for these images as it gives me views of wildlife I would never get to see.
Cool. Owls are certainly one of the most interesting of the bird species.
That shot made me smile. ANd just the phrase “burrowing owl” is click bate.
Great family group shot 🙂
