You just knew these had to be coming

In Cape Coral Florida, I went looking for Burrowing Owls today. Stopped a lady out walking her dog and she said she hasn't seen any all winter! Anyway, I found a few, and actually, more cooperative than in my past experiences.

Wonderful set Ian!

Hi, Ian. Yesterday when you said "Cape Coral" (was it yesterday?) I knew these had to be coming. Good thing you found them. I may be down that way in another month or two. Hope they are around at that time.
Have a good time!

Thanks Linh. If you know Cape Coral, stick to the SW area, they make their homes there more than other parts of town. Find Chiquita Blvd. and just cruise the side streets on both sides of Chiquita. I checked the area around the library, near Skyline Blvd., but there were none out there at all. This is just my second day here so very happy so far. I haven't ever gotten shots of them up on their perches before.

It looks like they are happy to see you

Those are great Ian, well done.

Beautiful! Love these birds!

great set, Ian! really like the third one and the second-to-last... lucky you, i've yet to even see one, much less get photos!

You never disappoint me, stunning set of images.

Good for you, Ian; these alone are probably worth four days of driving!

Ha, out of the cold and into bird paradise #2. Stunning captures here, Ian. You have the knack, persistence, expertise to find them "where they ain't ".
