On Thursday a photographer friend and I drove 1.5 hours to Vista View Park in Davie to see the Burrowing Owls. We visited about 7-8 nests. Most of them were sitting on the poles around their nesting site. We found a couple in some trees.

Occasionally there was one in the grass which was over a foot high!

The park has a place to fly remote control planes. Only saw one up in the air.

On Thursday a photographer friend and I drove 1.5 hours to Vista View Park in Dania to see the Burrowing Owls. We visited about 7-8 nests. Most of them were sitting on the poles around their nesting site. We found a couple in some trees.

Dania? Davie Maybe?

Dania? Davie Maybe?

You're correct, it is Davie! I'm not that familiar with Broward County!

This nest had the most owls. When we were walking towards them, the grass was so high, I stepped in a fire ant nest! Got both feet!! Glad my friend had hydrocortisone in her car.
