Enjoying A Moment Alone

Enjoying A Moment Alone, a photo by Megan Lorenz on Flickr.

I couldn't have timed my trip to Cape Coral any better, there were lots of babies which had been out of the burrows for weeks and were already trying to fly and also many burrows that babies were just emerging for the first time and still without all their feathers and downy fluff. This little guy was one of my favorite Burrowing Owlets from this trip....I spent hours every day watching him and couldn't help laughing at his antics. Some people wouldn't believe you can identify individual owls but each seems to look different and have their own personality. Out of the 5 owlets at this burrow, he just stood out :-)
