Caring for the owls in Cape Coral is a monumental but fun job. If you are a homeowner or renter and have a burrowing owl on your property or a nearby vacant lot, you CAN help clean and protect that burrow.
On going classes are being held to teach homeowners the proper way to trim and stake owl burrows. If you would like to help “Save the Owls”, call us 239-980-2593 or fill in the form below, to learn more.
I have been a resident of Cape Coral for 12 years and have enjoyed watching these owls. I have tried to start a nest as instructed with no
success. However, I do photo the owls and keep a respectful distance and never done anything that would harm any wildlife. I am part of the Cape Coral Eagle Watch program this season and will be again in the future. Please tell me more about becoming involved with protection of the owls.
Elsie,
Someone will contact you about opportunities for helping out the Burrowing Owls. Thank you for your interest. http://www.ccfriendsofwildlife.org/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=moderated#comments-form

About 10 feet right from a existing nest.
We are leaving to go back up North, but will be back in October. I would like to know more about care and maintenance of burrows near my home and if I could start a burrow at my home when we come back in the Fall. Thanks!
Jeanne,
Get in touch with us again in October when you get back and we will give you instructions on how to install a starter burrow on your property. There is also instruction on our website at
We are interested in the class regarding care for a burrow.
I have a burrow in my front yard and in the lot next door that I watch over.
We have a neighbor who passed away a few months ago and in her front yard there is a nesting pair that we are sure they have babies or are ready! The Family members are not respecting the nest and a truck just pulled up 4ft away from the burrow! Can I come pick up a nesting site sign or can someone come out? We are all worried as neighbors…I believe the address is 3511 SE 2nd Place Cape Coral..corner house.Thank you so much!!
Unstaked owl burrow in Cape Coral across from Stop sign at intersection of SW 48th Terrace and SW 10th Ave
This burrow has been staked and protected by members of Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife. Thanks for reporting it to us.
We have an empty burrow owl nest in our neighborhood and would like to see if we can get owls in it. It is on the corner of Beach Parkway East corner of 19th Ave. right side. Can you help?
Someone from Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife has visited the site and has contacted you as to how to proceed. Good luck! The owls are looking for homes now.
