Hello
These are some images from our time in Florida, one day we visited the Myakka River State Park after a visit to the Cape Coral area to see the Burrowing Owls. While watching the Burrowing Owls I also noticed the Loggerhead Shrike, seen below. It was also the spot were we saw the Monk Parakeets, I posted on a previous post.
Below is the Loggerhead Shrike seen on a wire near the ball field. It was a pretty blue sky above the Shrike.

This is one of the many Roseate Spoonbills we saw at the Myakka River State Park. It was a pretty sky and sunny day.

Hello Eileen
Great sightings today!
THe Burrowing owls are the true stars of this post although the shrike is probably more difficult to "catch" with your camera!!
Enjoy your outings and keep well :)
Lindas estas fotografias.

Beautiful photos Eileen. I enlarged them and they became amazing! I love owls. I think it might be because their faces remind of cats...
Those owls are adorable! Have a beautiful day !
Superb shots Eileen!

Hi Eileen, a bit late getting to your post , but well worth it as always now that I finally have. I hadn't heard of the place you visited, so went into Google earth. My God that is a huge area of untouched land, I used the measurment tool, to find out it measures roughly 14 miles North to South, and similarly East to West.
Thank you for teaching me Somthing, Gordon.
Burrowing owls are new to me. Beautiful. Wonderful that you were able to get the shot.
Lovely blue skies and cool sightings
Hi! Nice captures and shutter chances. Your photos are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Eileen,

Always a joy visiting and see all the interesting things you share. Super great photos. Almost hear the birds sing.
Those 2 B Owls are so cute Eileen.
Love, love LOVE the Burrowing Owls!!!!!!!!!
That is a beautiful area, such vibrant greens and blues. I love those owls!
I get so much joy when you post owls.
Worth a Thousand Words
I think those Burrowing Owls look great.
Great selection here Eileen, thank you.

The Burrowing Owls have beautiful markings . . .
Against a tree . . . almost impossible to see . . .
