I have been traveling the last few days but finally had a chance to check the nest of the Great Horned Owl again this evening. As you can see, the light was perfect and the little owlet sticked its head out of the nest, as if it would greet me at my arrival. Most of the time I spent there today the young owl had its eyes closed and you could only see the upper part of the head. The third year in a row I’m amazed how fast a young owl is growing. I have not seen the mother at any of my visits lately but I’m sure she does everything to feed the juvenile owl and is out on the hunt for prey.
