Dottie and I got home yesterday from our annual pilgrimage to southwest Florida to photograph the Burrowing Owls. This image was captured on Marco Island. Interesting and surreal, I was sitting on the ground at the edge of the road at a vacant house lot. As I looked around I was surrounded by million dollar homes/vacation homes and a canal with multi-hundred thousand dollar yachts. These owls have chosen expensive digs to make home. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice capture Joe, maybe this fellow is annoyed because his family was there long before the million dollar houses. Nicely sharp image, I love those legs. Overall, your image seems a bit bright to me and I suggest at least toning down the foreground sand. Glad your trip to Marco was a winner.
