FLL OWLS?!

[SDRivers]

Hey guys, I was shooting at FLL yesterday and noticed a small creature chilling out on a orange cone... turned out it was a family of pygmy burrowing owls right by the parking lot where you can watch the takeoff's

anybody have info on these little guys? I sort of want to contact the airport to see if I can get clearance to go on the other side of the fence to get some better shots.

I'm probably the furthest thing from an expert compared to the others here, but I think it's safe to assume that there's no way the airport authorities will let you on the other side of their fence to shoot pictures of those owls, as cool as that would be. Doesn't hurt to ask though

And Matt that's the funniest graphic I've seen on this board since the "Cats on a Plane" photoshopped job(which is now my wallpaper)

i LOVE the 757 head on shot...really REALLY showcases the beastliness.
