Broward's Burrowing Owls Are Doing the Mambo in 2012



Among the many types of birds we get here in Florida,   we have our share of burrowing owls. Folks come from around the world to see them, especially those who nest at the Cape Coral Library and to a lesser extent, Marco Island.   But for South Floridians,  we have a large colony of owls literally in our own backyard in Western Broward County.

I am fortunate to have my office right around the block from the burrowing owl colony and thus I've had the opportunity to visit them every Spring.  If you've followed my images,  you can see pics of these cute little guys.   It's still too early for the babies,  but to get the season started, I prepared a short 2 minute video of the antics of these cute owls and it served as a perfect excuse to test out the new Canon EOS 5d Mark III.  All I can say is that I'm very impressed with both the imaging and video qualities of this new camera especially at high ISO's.  See for yourselves.  Also,  because our owls in South Florida have been immersed in Latin culture for many years, I've prepared the perfect theme music for them from Perez Prado.

So folks, enjoy the Mambo Owls of Broward County.

Burrowing Owls of Broward County



This year I've been fortunate to find myself near some nesting grounds of some burrowing owls. Due to habitat destruction, finding burrowing owls in South Florida is a rarity. Typically, one has to go to places like Marco Island or Cape Coral to see these guys. Fortunately, there are many burrowing owl communities in Broward County living peacefully among the hustle and bustle. Here are some of the images of these beautiful little creatures.

Those Silly Birds



Short two minute video I made with my digital SLR and long lens while photographing spoonbills and reddish egrets (the red and white morph) on the west coast, plus a guess spot from a burrowing owl from Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Enjoy.
