Yesterday I checked on one of my local great horned owl nests for the first time in a couple of weeks. On my previous visit she had not yet laid eggs and wasn’t incubating. I was hoping this time that would have changed and, indeed, it has. She is now in there, well-hidden as usual. Dad was nearby, keeping watch, and gave me some nice shots as well but seeing her was the most important part of my visit.
Great horned owls have an incubation period of 30 to 37 days so if all goes well, in a few weeks there will likely be little owlets in there with her.
