2 dark eyed Burrowing Owls

            These two juvenile Burrowing Owls have dark eyes rather than the usual bright yellow eyes.  Not sure why - possibly to do with a recessive gene?  This shot was taken earlier this year in Cape Coral, Florida.  
"A census, of Cape Coral Burrowing Owls, undertaken in May of this year, counted 5089 Burrowing Owls which is an increase on the previous year.
This is 884 more owls were counted than in 2023, attributable to conservation efforts by the city, many members of the community and Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife (CCFW) to protect this threatened species which is such an iconic symbol of Cape Coral." ccfriendsofwildlife.org
