An Autographed copy of - Cape Coral Burrowing Owls Don't Hoot

Are you wanting to make the Burrowing Owl a "lifer" on your list? Did you see the movie "Hoot" and are curious about these little birds? Did your friend tell you that you have to see the Burrowing Owls if you are anywhere near Cape Coral? Seeing these amazing little birds is exciting enough, but learning all about them adds so much more to your experience.

This book is the only non-fiction book written specifically about the these unique birds. It gives the history of Cape Coral and how the owls got there. Learn about the owl's diet, habitat, reproduction, senses, feathers, flight, and more. Even though there are as many as 1000 nesting pair of owls in the city, navigating the extensive 400-mile canal system can be a challenge and finding the owls can be equally challenging. This book can serve as your guide. Even if you are not planning on visiting, you will learn how every structure in their body works towards two goals, flight and eating.
Personal stories from the author are scattered throughout the book and wouldn't you want to know why you might find a pair of ladies underwear in front of a burrow?
