Yesterday (7 Feb 24), just before walking up to the site of the nesting tree, I was informed that one person had just observed mama Great Horned Owl fly into the nest area.
This is surely not the most exciting video I've uploaded, but made a little more interesting and entertaining by the windy and gusty day we had here. The first part through 2:38 is mama owl prepping the nest or maybe even situating any early eggs, along with keeping an eye on the surrounding area. (In an unrecorded moment I did observe her tossing plant matter out of the nest down to the base of the tree.) From 2:39 to the end is dad owl on watch duty to protect the nest as well as wrestling with some very strong wind gusts.
[Caution "NSFW": Owl butt appears front and center from 2:22 - 2:30! 🦉🍑😂]
