Discovered a great horned owl nest yesterday, that I had walked past several times without noticing the contents. Yesterday, the single owlet was standing up as big as a fully inflated football. Today I got some digiscopes of Her(?) lying down and posted them on flickr. They can be accessed at the site below. https://www.flickr.com/photos/117316946@N08/? This nest was built two years ago by Red Shouldered hawks, one of whom, ironically, was predated ON THE NEST by another great Horned owl, quite possibly the grand parent of this one. Based on our recent experiences, this girl is about ready to fledge. The nest is a mere 200 yards from my house. Oddly, I never heard the parent owls call one single time this late winter/spring.
