This is a video of the female owl and one of her owlets who reside in the west pasture of the property. This was the secondary nest for the eagles (M15 And F23) but has been occupied by owls. Based on the ID markings, the owlet is about 20 days old.

The GHO's are very beautiful, could watch them all day! With the state of this nest now it's no wonder they were looking to take over M15 & F23's nest!!! 💖💖💖

Extraordinary, and so close to their mortal enemies! I have just learned that the 'horns' of the GHO are tufts of feathers called plumicorns.

Plumicorns, word of the year!!

I assume this 'secondary nest' taken over by the owls is rather close to the other, what could be called I guess the main nest, of the SWFL eagles -- so perhaps that explains the numerous owl strikes, particularly on M15

Of course 😢

They are close enough that when M15 or F23 are in their nest they can see the other nest.

I'm so happy that you uploaded this video!! Although I don't like the owl strikes on our amazing Eagle family I still love seeing the owlet❤ If the owlet is 20 days old then it was born shortly after E23.

They are beautiful. Did mama owl only have one baby?

@julieh-c949 6 ай бұрын

I am thinking the same thing.. I can't see anymore in the nest area

@melissamcclain34 6 ай бұрын

I saw another video last week someone else uploaded and there was only one owlet seen in that one as well. Crazy how the eagles only had one chick and the owls as well 😊

@Duck_Keeper 6 ай бұрын

I think there are two. If you watch carefully at the 2:25 & 2:52 mark you see movement of another owlet under Mom owl when the resting owlet in front doesn't move.

@Carlabowen0906 6 ай бұрын

You're right duck mom is sitting on the other one

@kimberleelee9141 6 ай бұрын

Well, that answers a lot of questions. Also, it explains a lot of things I've wondered about. And look at that baby. Close to the same age as E23. 6 or 7 days. Such a beautiful momma and baby. I wonder if they were nesting there last season? Or nearby. The way they harassed E21 and 22. They're not new to the neighborhood. Lol 😊

@TheRealSaundersPhotography 6 ай бұрын

The owls 🦉 raised three owlets last season. Two were seen very often. One owlet disappeared after fledging.

Ooh how nice to see this, thank you 🙏 !. I love 🦉 and was always wondering about these GHO family in the "second" nest we have seen only from far away. Mama Owl and Owlet are looking fine in the sunshine, lovely !. Is Mama Owl calling another Owlet or Mr Owl ❤❤😊

I have mixed feelings on these owls After watching what they did to poor M-15 and the Babies last year

@sunshinecheryll 6 ай бұрын

How many babies do the owls have?

@TheRealSaundersPhotography 6 ай бұрын

Two confirmed owlets in the nest, but a possible third one. Waiting for confirmation!

@catherinebreitfeller669 6 ай бұрын

If owls would work hard like the bald eagles they could have a nice nest too instead of trying to steal others critter’s nests. They too lazy to work. I love owls but sure wish they would find a nest “far far” from our beloved M15 & F23 & E23 !!

The owls are busy raising, feeding , and protecting the owlets from predators. They will keep away from the east pasture for a few weeks. Thank you for watching the video!
