Fellow owl lovers, Went to check on "my" baby Great Horned Owls this evening. Only one was partially visible in the nest. I decided to give them a hearing test to determine that they were both still OK. One single owl call note, and they both jumped up and looked in my direction. They are growing like weeds. As with any parent, surrogate or otherwise, I am concerned with the expected low temps tomorrow night. Since these owls were born, it has not once gone below 40. I occasionally have to remind myself that thousand of years of evolution have the situation well under control, and they should be just fine. I now know they can hear. On the way back, I heard two Barred Owls calling. I hear several of them, several times each day. I may have located their nest, as well, but it's high in a spruce tree and very hard to see. joe in the woods somerset, ohio perry county ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
