The Great Horn Owlets in both the north nest and the south nest were unattended by adults when we arrived today. One parent or the other could be heard at both location whooing softly from the nearby woods. At the south nest, one of the juveniles was seen calling back to its mother.

The Owlets at both locations continue to grow at an impressive rate!
