Great Horned Owls, nesting timeline...end of Jan, 30 days incubation = hatch end of Feb, 5-6 weeks to fledge = mid-April....is that good if imprecise guestimate? And what do GHO's do during the day? Do they ever just, you know, hang, take a nap, in the nest after the kids are gone? I found a nest yesterday, very distant look. Looked like a bird hunkered down in it (windy, cool). There are lots of RTHs around so that's probably the most likely, are they on nests now? But I've been hoping to find a GHO nest, I know they are around. Know of two RTH nests, wondering where all the GHO nests are. Had read they sometimes co-opt RTH nests. If GHO young have fledged and GHOs more or less abandon nests after I've missed my shot.
