Great shots everyone. I haven't had the time to reply to all of the great posts this and last weeks thread.

I also haven't been able to get out and soot any. this is the worse time of the year for me - our Fiscal year starts October and I have to spend last years money, strategically plan the next three years, and detail FY07.

But I hdid process a couple of more of that cooperative adult red-tailed. Cheers - gene

Actually that one disturbs me; the owl looks quite alarmed, and if this is a full frame shot then the photographer was way too close. In none of the shots does the owl look particularly comfortable. This species is threatened in Florida and it behooves photographers to respect them, especially near their nest sites.

These are not full frame but not heavily cropped either. I would never disrupt them, or any other animal, to the point you are suggesting. This particular burrow, like at least 3 others, is located less than a meter from the paved walkway for bicycles and joggers and it has being there for quite some time now. There are other burrows very close to where the people walk and play, actually even in the baseball fields of the park. When a dog appears, they immediately go into the burrow which leads me to believe that, although not comfortable, my distance/presence does not disturb them significantly.
More information can be found under “The Burrowing Owls of Brian Piccolo Park”

Kangaroo paws eh, those bluebirds are new to this area and they planted a ton of the "Paws" and berry bushes. Its going to be nice when it gets more grown. Birds love it already and I have shots of two Kites, the haw and vulture just from that strip they planted. It's way cool.

Building alot of homes tho, so I bet the poor animals are just struggling for a place to move to. Unusual to see so many in just a few days. Yesterday two hawks, but too far away....[not good pics, but I hope the hawks stay and the Kites too. Not bad for 3 trips across the street this week...

Stunning as usual. The first photo is particularly impressive - you’ve captured a lot of real character in the hawk.
