From Boynton Beach Florida, morning shot.
I work this subject very patiently, until we move close to each other that I reached the minimum focus distance of my lens. I am sure that the bird was not under any stress, because at one point I took a short nap and I have to wait several minutes until he wake up.

Raul,
Bird and BG look good. I might suggest that a vertical crop would be better here as the inclusion of all the BG does not add to the image. In this case, going a bit lower would have gotten the yellow blobs out of the BG right at the perch - perhaps out of the frame. IF going vertical, you could clone out the remaining yellow.

It's always good to see the Burrowing Owls. Robert's suggestions were good.....and the repost certainly illustrates that. Well done.
