Nesting season underway for Cape Coral burrowing owls
CAPE CORAL, Florida (WBBH) They’re cute, they’re curious and they’re protected!
Nesting season has just begun in Cape Coral for the burrowing owl, the official bird of the Cape.
Officials said it’s important for humans to keep their distance to help protect the species. There are thousands of burrows across the city of Cape Coral that house the burrowing owls and right now the nesting season for the little animals is underway.
During nesting season the burrowing owls will “decorate” their burrows with little pieces of trash including cigarette butts. It means the mom is sitting on some eggs in there, according to Pascha Donaldson, President of the Cape Coral Wildlife Trust.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. – As the official bird of the city, burrowing owls are well-known and well-loved in Cape Coral.
“The residents of the city are very protective of the burrowing owls,” Cheryl Anderson with Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife said.
“I love them,” said Cape Coral resident Alta Raymond. “They’re the cutest little things in the world.”
“Typically we don’t hear complaints because I would say more people love the owls and think they’re wonderful,” Pascha Donaldson, president of the Cape Coral Wildlife Trust said.
