Star Down From Burrowing Owlets

Think these baby Burrowing Owls had enough of me? Sure looks like it from the photo! These little bundles of joy were photographed in Cape Coral FL in early summer. And, in reality, they were pretty happy with me for the most part – I think I just caught them at a bad moment. That, or they thought I was the one making the loud banging noise (garbage truck). Either way, it made for a cool shot of the three of them!
