Howdee all,
Yesterday Jeff and I met up with my Twitter/facebook friend Annette and her hubby Jerry. They took us to a local taco restaurant and then to see some owlets.
Kapock Park
Boardwalk to the tall Oak trees where the Owlets were
Looking east toward the housing development..
A very nice park~built to help control flooding in the area.
I think this is some kind of Bird of paradise plant..

Ahh..here we go
Great horned owlets
There were a few photographers already in the area.
The Owlets were given plenty of room.
I took these two photos with my canon SX1
The one on the left is younger
The next photos digiscoped by Jeff with his Canon powershot
We didn’t take photos of mom and dad~they were nearby
Mom was in the same tree~dad in the next tree over.
Zoomed in with scope and camera
The owlet on the right has more developed feathers..
We had great fun watching these two fluff balls!
Annette and Jerry left ~Jeff and I continued to walk the park.

Must be nice to live in one of the houses near this very pretty park.

Great Egret eating some sort of crustacean
It was a nice afternoon at this small neighborhood park.
Jeff and I are in the area until Saturday~we then head south toward Sanibel where we will be for another week.
Oh what a wonderful place!!! You got some great captures!!!!
