She's been here since early February, so am hoping for a few more when the eggs hatch. |

After being out of town for two weeks, when I checked back on April 24,
the nest was empty, so they must have fledged. |
Great Horned Owl - March 19, 2011 - Open Space Visitor Center
Another nesting owl located across the river and a little north on 3/19/11. |

(4/2/11) |
| And on April 7, 2011, at least two and probably three, little ones appeared at the Open Space nest! |
|
|
Sure enough, counting beaks on my return April 24,
there's three little ones, the dominant one clearly close to fledging. |
