A little burrowing owl was having a nice stretch with that right leg. These diurnal owls that live in the ground are fairly widespread throughout the Americas. An especially large population of them live in Cape Coral, Florida in and amongst all the suburban population. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 280mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/160th of a second.

What a sweet bird. Nice shot!
This looks like the whatever the Burrowing Owl version of giving someone the finger is.
Awesome shot, I can almost feel how soft and fluffy it is. But – they live in the ground? How do they stay safe? I want one!
They get nice and cozy down in there. Not many predators that will try to get them. Maybe foxes, but the burrows are too small.
Cute
