Really had the best time this year visiting with the burrowing owls at Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City, Florida.
Over the weeks, even months, that we drove out to photograph them, each visit seemed to be so different. Sometimes they were learning to test their wings, sometimes they would be learning to play, sometimes learning to hunt and catch their own food. It was always a joy to observe them as they were learning about the world around them.
In this image, this juvenile burrowing owl was practicing catching things it was interested in and handling them in their claws and paying with the objects. I couldn't help but equate this action of development and discovery to what our own young babies experience - their mouths, their hand, their feet, etc. Their learning curve is steep, as they don't spend too long with their parents and family unit before they are ready to head off on their own.
I have already told Tom that next year, we have to remember the joy that we felt watching them grow up and I will be anxiously awaiting the "next batch" of them. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and for all of your comments and thoughts. Much appreciated!
