It had been a few months since I had seen this guy but the other day I finally was able to find him again. This Great Horned Owl’s mate has been sitting on their nest for a month or so and little ones should be coming soon. I knew he couldn’t be far but he had been elusive, as he always seems to be. On this day he must have decided to be kind and not only show himself but also put himself in a nice spot. This pair took up residence three or four years ago in what had been historically a hawk nest.
