Bird watching is a hobby not many are into; it requires patience, steadfastness, and dedication like no other field or hobby does. Many people make it their profession, while others keep it a casual activity they indulge in from time to time. Beverly Ahlering Saltonstall started out the same way; her curiosity about the birds that coexisted with the people of her newly moved town led her to devote a significant part of her life to their preservation and write a book, Cape Coral Burrowing Owls Don’t Hoot.
Cape Coral Burrowing Owls Don’t Hoot is a comprehensive guide in which Saltonstall details all there is to know about burrowing owls —their way of life, personalities, history of the place they lived in, migratory patterns, and origin. Though the activity of bird watching can be dull at times and rarely go as planned, Beverly shares her interesting experiences and encounters with the friendly birds in a very engaging way that makes the readers want to know more about burrowing owls and the history of their chosen residence —Cape Coral, a city at the border of Florida with soft and sandy grounds and few residents at the time of the bird’s arrival that has grown since and now cohabitates various unique and individual species of different animals, including burrowing owls’ largest population in the world.
Burrowing owls are inherently very friendly creatures. With their adoring antics, silly poses, and open and loyal nature, burrowing owls are one of the dream birds for any bird photographer. Trusting at their core, they only get aggressive when they feel cornered or when their burrows are threatened.
Beverly Saltonstall, in her book, goes in depth about the growth and development of these ground-dwelling birds, as unlike the other species of owls, the burrowing owl subspecies are small in size and make their nests underground, hence why they’re called burrowing owls.Cape Coral Burrowing Owls Don’t Hoot explores the world of burrowing owls and spreads awareness about these winged creatures while also keeping the readers informed of every little detail about them.
