burrowing owl. parent standing watch

Cape Coral, FL

...this burrowing owl is standing watch on the nest which
is located next to a city recreation complex...the nest is
constructed where the earth slopes, in this case it's right
next to the parking lot entrance...burrowing owls are fairly
adapted to humans here in Cape Coral...they moved here when
the land was clear cut to dredge canals so all the boating nuts
can live "on water"....

Excellent. I liked the shot of the owl nest the best though. Better exposure on the owl's face, I think.

What a wonderful pose jypsee. Yes, he does look a bit like a pirate.

Excellent capture, jypsee. I love the intense gaze of owls - this one shows that perfectly. And what an interesting nesting style! Great shots.

Oh wow wow wow... this is such a wonderful shot. I really like the owl on the woodwork like this. Will go now to check out the rest of the owl galleries -- I already know I am going to love them.
