Convenient Endangered Birds

I always look forward to visiting both of these endangered species when I visit Florida. This time, I found them both within the same block, late this afternoon.

Great shots Ian, I was in Cape Coral Saturday trying to locate the owls. I was around the library several times with finding any. Ended up driving down to Ding Darling. Now back in Ohio enjoying 2 degree weather. Ron

That’s a shame Ron. I have been here enough times now that I have all of the key locations saved in my GPS. These owls and scrub Jays were up in the northwest quadrant at the far north end of Chiquita Boulevard. Only the odd time do I actually see owls around the library. Thanks very much for commenting.

very nice- it looks like the Jays want a ride home

They startled me when they first swooped in and landed there Bob!
