Nov 1, 2016 | Burrowing Owls, In the News

A burrowed owl nest was recently destroyed near NW 8th Terrace and NW 5th Pl. in Cape Coral. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is currently investigating after a resident in the area reported several burrowed owls were found dead on the property.

“I would be absolutely devastated if I walked by here and didn’t see my owls,” said Gail St Martin.

St Martin lives a few blocks away from the land where the burrowed owl nests are located, but makes it a point to walk her dog Brady past the property every day.

“They are so peaceful and they bring me joy,” said St Martin.
