p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Burrowing Owls in Florida. March 2016.


Finally was able to photograph the Burrowing Owls in Cape Coral and Marco Island, Florida. Found them all over the place, even some accidentally while parking or just walking down the street. 3/11/16 to 3/14/16. Several different Owls represented.

Canon 7D II w/ Canon 70-200 II and Canon 2x III (Some with and some without)

These are all great, Mike. Good clarity, lovely light, sharp detail and a fine isolation of the birds.

Beautiful owls with great details. Look like they are very friendly and let you get closer.

Lovely shots Mike...
Crazy that you were there in that time frame, as we were in Florida from 3/8-3/12 and spent a day tooling around Cape Coral too. Your shots are lovely and do a great job illustrating the pure cuteness of these little guys. I particularly like the image of the pair with the background bird falling out of focus.

A really good set of of owl images Mike. Looks like you took control of the opportunity and came up with sharp images where the BG is clean. I like #1 and 4 best.

Great set of owls, Mike! Nice backgrounds to go with them. I particularly like the last one with the two owls. Excellent work!

You captured a variety of different looks with these. Some look intense; some look humorous. It's hard to take these owl too seriously until you see their claws (as shown in # 3).

That said, all are well done--crisp, clean and colorful.

Thanks for posting.

Beautiful work, beautiful creatures.
For owl lovers Cape Coral is worthy of pilgrimage.

Wonderful shots of a truly "comical" owl. Are there young ones about in March?
When do they emerge. BTW my Hooded mergansers arrived a couple days ago. I hope to be imaging them next week. No woodies yet!

Thank you Don, a pair of Woodies showed up a couple days ago and this morning I had the first pair of Hoodies. Hoping tomorrow morning will be sunny.
