Wonderful shots-well done. Just curious-some of the owls don't show any yellow in the eyes-were the shots taken when it was dark enough that the pupils were fully open? I don't recall ever seeing any Burrowing Owls without yellow in the eyes. Again great series.

It's a genetic abnormality that is sometimes seen in burrowing owls in Marco Island, but I hadn't heard of it being present in Cape Coral owls until I saw this one this morning.

Excellent set Rik! Very interesting about their eyes. I didn't know that either.
