I’ve been keeping an eye on a local Great Horned Owl nest but hadn’t seen any activity this year. As mating season has already started I was concerned the pair that was there last year and had three owlets had moved on.
Today I was very happy to find mom sitting in the nest catching a nap. I looked around and couldn’t find dad but I am sure he has to be nearby. I’ll be looking forward to documenting the family through this spring and sharing the pics on here.
