Today Mrs. Owl laid her second egg shortly after returning to the nest box at 6:40 this morning. She has had a restful day with much cooler temps and a nice cloud cover.We are pinching ourselves that this is really happening in our backyard. We had successful owl nests in 2004 (2 young fledged) and 2005 (3 young fledged). Then our nest box sat vacant in 2006 and 2007.
2008 is shaping up to be a very good year all around, we think.
a note: the Great Horned Owlcam that we posted yesterday has not been up for some reason today. Still shots can be seen at
