Burrowing Owl mating event near Cape Coral Library
Cape Coral, Florida USA

After numerous attempts to merely find a Burrowing Owl to photograph,
the first encounter made on 26 FEB 2010 led to observation of a mating event mere
minutes after sunset. With it noted in David Sibley's Guide to Bird Life and Behavior
that mating activity of Burrowing Owls is not well documented, 22 additional
trips to Cape Coral, Florida, were made as late as 27 June 2010
this season to help improve the record.
