The sun made a brief appearance a bit after sunrise yesterday morning. The brightening day revealed that danger had stalked the forest fog, and my local crow population was not pleased. During the damp semi darkness the male Great Horned Owl had obviously made a kill and delivered it to its mate on the nest. I heard the crow’s racket from my house even over the sound of the waterfall. I hiked over to the nest and I found Poppa Owl guarding the nest while Mom ate. In addition Mom GHO is obviously being bumped around by hungry owlets underneath her.
