Winter BirdWatching
The owls are out there somewhere, because you hear them, but where are they? Then they fly into their tree (a magical sight) just before the sun comes up! What a discovery and sight to see, two GREAT HORNED OWLS hanging out together. They try to be very cordial when the camera appears--they look down, maybe trying to open their big beautiful yellow eyes. But sleep is what they want!
Owls breed in the winter but many begin their courtship and mating in the late fall. In the fall, the owls are more vocal and active.
If you can hear them, you may be able to find them. All of a sudden you are owling!
These are the two owls that live up in the tree--if you are out early enough you may catch them coming in from their night out or leaving for the night life! Some days there is no sign of them. So maybe they have another tree that hasn't been found yet?
Whooo's Whooo, the females are moderately bigger than the males.
