Burrowing owl nest burned in Cape Coral
A burrowing owl nest in Cape Coral appears to have been burned, and neighbors say it may have been intentionally set.
There are thousands of burrowing owl nests around Cape Coral, and spotting them is easy. Just look for the wooden “T” marking the spot.
Kathy Farrington and her grandkids live across the street from several nests, “We saw them this morning on our way to school,” she says.
Now one of the Burrowing Owl nest appears to be empty. It’s surrounded by burnt grass, damage from a recent brush fire. “There was birds there; there was owls there. I don’t know if they survived it or if they flew away when the heat was there or the flames were there. I don’t know,” said Kathy.
