Cape Corral burrowing owl. This guy had just come out of his burrow , saw us and went back in only to come back out and present us with an offering.

LOL, they are friendly! I've never had one offer me breakfast before though!

Now that is funny! Good shot. The owl seems to be looking you over. Interestingly, is that a leg tag, er, band, maybe?

1st time seeing and shooting them, so cute and so small, some of their antics cracked me up.

Thanks, definitely not intimidated by us. Yes some type of band, most of the owls we saw that morning had been banded..

I love those owls. Steve and I have photographed them so many times. They are very cute owls.

They are so cute...every time I see one I think of Bubo from Clash of the Titans and can’t help smiling.
