The former inhabit the bungalows that line the streets and canals. \u00a0The latter inhabit burrows in yards, along street medians, in parks and libraries – basically everywhere. I decided to make the drive down to Cape Coral in order to see these small owls for myself. I got in touch with a few friends who were able to give me advice about where to best locate some nests. \u00a0Advice in hand, I scouted out some spots, figured out which owls seemed to be most tolerant of people and hand good sight lines for sunset light, and then went back to the few I guessed would be best in the late afternoon. I then laid down on the ground and waited. Soon they would pop up and I was able to make some portraits. I should mention this is a situation for the longest lens you have. I used 840mm. I just don’t want to spook these little guys. The greater the distance to the owl the more comfortable the owl is likely to be with your presence which is the only way to get any photographs. Also, a longer lens allows for a narrower and usually more defocused background.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle”
