Photos of the Day: A Golden Jackal and a Dwarf Octopus

“This was my first visit to Cape Coral, FL and I was amazed at the number of burrows – which have been carefully marked by white PVC. I was fortunate to capture 4-5 tiny owls out of their burrows on this particular day. As I remained at a safe distance from an occupied burrow, one of the Burrowing Owls decided to take a peek to see if I was still there.”
