Barn Owls

Hard to believe but I almost forgot to post about this. Upon arriving at Cayo Coco this year I seen eBird posts of  multiple Barn Owls. I have been lucky enough to observe Barn Owls almost every year we have visited Cuba but usually in flight early morning. So I reached out to my favourite Cuban guide and indeed, he himself had discovered a nesting barn owl location and was more than willing to share the info with me. It was in a known birding location that I had birded many times before and I was ecstatic to go and observe these new hatchlings. The only problem I had was that my shortest lens on this particular vacation was the 500mm so hence the iphone 15 was gonna have to do. I was very fortunate as two days after I visited the nesting site the owls fledged and disappeared. All in all a very, very cool experience.
