Two Grouse: One Golden

Incubation Interlude With 3 Eggs

  Spring, 2008

Spend some time watching our female great-horned owl as she takes a break from the ordeal of keeping eggs protected and warm 24 hours a day. The sound (vocalization) in the early part of the clip, is the golden eagle shown below.  Bear in mind, just on the other side of the fence against which our owl is nesting, is a wild great-horned owl nesting as well.  We will publish videos of the wild birds when available.  Stay tuned.
