2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Burrowing Owl, Central Florida, United States
Baby Burrowing Owl yawning

Species: Burrowing Owl | Location: Central Florida, United States

My friend and I came across a burrowing owl nest and decided to watch from a distance. Eventually the sole baby came out of the nest and put on a good show for us. This photo was taken at the end of a yawn, but I really like how it appears it was sticking its tongue out at us!

I've always had a passion for wildlife, but really dove into photography about 4 years ago. Most of my work consists of the diverse wildlife in Florida, with some additional photos from trips I've taken across the United States.
