Burrowing Owl Survey
ETE recently completed a burrowing owl survey for a property on Marco Island. Nesting seas0n for burrowing owls in Southwest Florida typically ends in early July. Even though no adult owls were present on the parcel, the burrows on this particular property were still being utilized by 7 juvenile owls (newly fledged). The juveniles were still associating with the burrows they were born in, but will likely disperse soon to other properties.
