No news to report. The female Great Horned Owl is still sitting on her nest. She's been there since April 2nd. Because the nest is 80 feet high in one of our aleppo pines it is difficult to see any owlets that might be there.
Typically, the incubation period is between 30 and 37 days, and then nestling 42 days. At this point it has been 63 days so it will probably be within a couple of weeks when we start seeing the young owlets outside the nest.
The male remains about 20 feet below the nest and is there from dawn to dusk every day.
Here are a couple photos I took this morning:
