On Wednesday afternoon, instead of returning to Wakodahatchee Wetlands, we decided on a change of pace and drove an hour south to Brian Piccolo Park where a number of Burrowing Owl burrows are cordoned off to protect the owls but the burrows are visible in the midst of soccer fields and other park amenities. The park’s popularity for walking and soccer practices, seemed not to bother the Burrowing Owls. Their burrows were spread out throughout the park, in the midst of soccer fields and on either side of the main pathways. We watched a couple of the burrows for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and the owls were not bothered with our presence nor with the nearby soccer practices going on but they were concerned about the Turkey Vultures soaring overhead. Two different owls poked their heads out of their burrows several times during our two hour visit there. Both emerged from their burrows and surveyed the area for quite a while, completely exposed. This owl did a leisurely wing stretch after emerging from its burrow. It then proceeded to watch the surrounding area before eventually returning to its burrow. Just before we left for the afternoon, it suddenly leapt forward and flew in a low trajectory across the walking path and to the burrow of its neighbor. The neighbor didn’t emerge and we had to leave so we didn’t see what transpired after that.
