Burrowing Owls

On our bike ride today I told Rick I wanted a picture of egrets on the wires or a burrowing owl....my wish came true. On the empty lots there are poles and a sign explaining that burrowing owls live there. They are endangered and protected. At one of these lots, Rick said, "he's right there. ". It took me a while to see it, and an effort to photograph it. These little 6" owls are adorable and not the least bit intimidated by me getting closer to it. Ron says they hiss at you if you get too close and can attack. We had another great day. Rick hung out with Ron this morning. I heard lots of laughing going on. This afternoon we went to FT. Myers to look at sewing machines for Drenda. Dinner tonight out in the air at The Joint at Cape Harbour.... half price pizzas. Dren and I had Rumrunners....woooo, it hit me hard! Lots of water now. Ending the day with a strong thunderstorm, unusual for this time of year.
