Owl nest
Last weekend we went up to the cities for a little R&R. We took the camera gear and went over to Black Dog to see if any eagles were left from the winter. We weren't disappointed! One eagle pair was building a nest right by the side of the road! As we watched (but didn't get any good photos, unfortunately) another photographer pulled up and told us about an owl nest further down. Sure enough, we drove down and saw this:
A great horned owl comfortably tucked into a nest! I've never seen an owl nest before. How cool! The owl didn't pay us much mind either. I wonder how long it takes for owl eggs to hatch? We should try to come back to catch a peek at the fledglings.
