There is a Great Horned Owl nest just across the street from us in a 60 year old eucalyptus tree. It has been the home of Great Horned Owls for at least 12 years. During that time two sets of adults have lived there. Both of the original parents died about 5 years ago; about six months apart, during which time the surviving male found a female only to died a few months later. There have been 11 years of offspring numbering between 25 and 30 young in total. Today's "5" Star Photo, the first of the Great Horned Owls, is off two of the offspring four years ago:
