Description:
Athene is a burrowing owl mascot who has been providing a prediction on Groundhog Day (or Ground Owl Day in this case) since 2019, in Cape Coral, Florida.
When Athene makes her annual Ground Owl Day appearance at Pelican Baseball Complex she looks for her shadow. If she sees it, that indicates that there will be a long winter. If Athene does not see her shadow, there will be an early spring.
The burrowing owl is the official bird of Cape Coral.
