It's a beautiful morning in Cape Coral Fl
Another semi-serendipitous wildlife encounter in our criss-cross Florida adventure!

We went to Cape Coral, home of the largest concentration of burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia floridana) in Florida.

In the heat of midday, our search turned up plenty of staked off burrows and wooden perches, but no owls in sight. We decided to head to the coast for a spell and return to owl spotting near dusk.

On our way out of the library parking lot, this down right adorable specimen appeared on a previously unoccupied perch!

We photographed from a distance and he was a very gracious and patient subject, striking all sorts of poses.
