Florida Burrowing Owls
I captured this image in Cape Coral, Florida. This is the first image I have taken of Florida Burrowing Owls, now I have many. Seeing Hurricane Ian make landfall in the Cape Coral area my first thoughts went to these owls that live in burrows dug into the earth. I pray they are okay, they survived Hurricane Charlie several years ago. Time will tell when I can get back down there after things are cleaned up. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

P.S. How things have changed, now I would have been using a higher shutter speed and higher ISO. As I remember, it was early morning and pretty dark, see how large the pupils are in the owls eyes.
