Burrowing Owl at Cape Coral Library
Cape Coral, Florida USA
These are the original pair of Burrowing Owl I first observed 28 FEB 2010. They are seen
here mating again as I had observed during my first sighting of them. The event has lasted
only about five seconds and has occurred between 12 and 15 minutes after sunset.
Attempting to stay out of the box at BPN. Perhaps the IPT crew can improve on this in 2011.
I'm surprised no one has recommended flash as the necessary solution.
