"OWL SPA DAY" - Great Horned Owl (Female)
"OWL SPA DAY"
Great Horned Owl (3 Photos)
Here in Calgary, we are extremely gifted by Nature to have several pairs of Great Horned Owls, one in particular, that live and nest in the same area.
One particular tree has had a pair of owls for over fifteen years. And although it has great people accessibility, the greatest concerns for the owls seem to be mobbing crows and Canada Geese, who for some reason, have decided that nesting in trees is something they should copy. It is those fly overs by the geese which appear to cause the greatest anxiety in both parents.
It is one of the most beautiful signs of Spring and with the first green leaves now appearing on the trees, Mrs. Owl has taken some well deserved "owl" time to tend to her feathers and talons.
