Now that I have a nest close to me, there were definitely be a lot of pics/videos of this nest. Hopefully they successfully hatch chicks in the near future and I can document that. I got there a little earlier this week and Mama (I assume) flew away a few times for a minute or two and then came back to the nest.
I am delighted that this Great Horned Owl decided to make her nest close to your house. I love the shots of this owl, although in some shots it would be hard to see her on the nest, as big as it is, because of her magnificent camouflage. I don’t think it is possible to take a bad photo of an owl, but yours are majestic.
She has such piercing eyes, keeping a close watch on you. I’m surprised that she’s out in wide open space in all kinds of weather. How long does it take before the eggs hatch?
Thanks, Matt.
