BURROWING OWL, Athene cunicularia, “Tecolote Llanero” (Spanish)
Time for some light heartedness and whimsy! I chose the expressive Burrowing Owl, a tiny ten-inch wonder that digs and lives in sandy burrows. Locals in the peninsula may think it is the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, but it isn’t.
With less than five reports of this occasional visitor to the Yucatan, it does live in nearby Cape Coral, Florida where I photographed them.
So give a little smile!

I see a flying sorcerer!

Aren’t you sweet! Why thank you

It tickles my tongue

I know who you are and what you did

Elvis, Harry Styles, and Charlie Puth copied my hairstyle

I wonder if Nair would work…

It’s a dirty job

Monday Morning Yawn

Oh no, she didn’t!

Whee

Hey Sonny when you get my age you lose your teeth

Tee hee hee

Kiss Kissy Kisses!

Stop! I can’t take any more!
LET NATURE SMILE UPON YOU!
