Burrowing Owl

Large Rectangle
Hello,

Happy Monday, have a great day! I am sharing one of my all time favorite birds, the Burrowing Owl. During various trips to Florida in 2013, 2015 and 2017 I was able to see the Burrowing Owl in the wild. These are all different owls and photos taken from my archives.



Below the Burrowing Owl is perched on a sign say the area is a important bird site, a nesting area for the owls.


Many of my owl sightings were in neighborhoods, close to houses, cars,  people and dogs.


The Burrowing Owls. nest in burrows. Sometimes they would come out of the burrow just enough to see the tops of their heads.



The Burrowing Owls were often see perched on the signs, warning signs to stay away from the owl's nesting area.



With my Canon SX40 I was able to zoom in on the cute owls from a distance. I would never get too close to any bird, they need their space.


They are a little owl only about 9-10 inches tall.












As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.
