There’s a reason they call them burrowing owls. Unlike most other owls that exist mostly in trees, these guys live down in the ground. This little guy was hiding amidst the grasses, flowers and weeds of a suburban side yard in Cape Coral, Florida. I’ve posted about these owls before. Cape Coral has a quite a population of burrowing owls and it is almost a matter of civic pride if one decides to burrow in your yard. Being a threatened species in Florida, locals are asked to do all they can to accommodate them. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/160th of a second
