Cape Coral Owls In Love

The community of Cape Coral, Florida, certainly must pride itself in its very likely booming population of Burrowing Owls. The Burrowing Owl above was photographed at Cape Coral Library in March 2010.This writing is made one month after my first observation of the species having made in this time ten trips to the area around the Cape Coral Library in search of this very interesting bird.David Sibley has written that the Burrowing Owl is the only small owl of ten species he's observed and documented...

Flip of A Coin

At the start of the day, I had no set destination in mind. The musician above was photographed at Bunche Beach Preserve in March 2010.When too late to take advantage of early morning light for ideal photography and too cold and breezy to consider use of the kayak, I decided a trip to Lovers Key State Park was in order.The traffic was stopped and bumper to bumper over a mile from the Matanzas bridge so I made a U-turn to avoid the worst of the tourist effect. The musician above was photographed...

When You Least Expect It

In my recent travels to Cape Coral, Florida, making an effort to observe and document the Burrowing Owl, I found a few surprises. The Osprey above was photographed near Cape Coral Library in March 2010.I have to admit that I found myself getting lost on the roads of Cape Coral even though the majority of them traverse the city east/west and north/south.My GPS device was useful on one occasion after I thought I had completely lost my bearings which I'll blame on the bridges from the mainland. The...

Feature: "Bird Island" At Matanzas Pass

A kayak trip to "Bird Island," postponed for a week due to cold and windy conditions this early spring 2010, resulted in calm pre-dawn conditions and 39 degrees Fahrenheit at launch. The Great Egret above was photographed on "Bird Island" at San Carlos Bay: Bunche Beach Preserve in March 2010.The water in San Carlos Bay felt extremely cold, much more so in fact than I've experienced at any time anywhere leisurely.I've made a handful of trips to this mecca northwest of Matanzas Pass Bridge from...
