It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year. In
January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot. To
impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops
around with an important air. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air...
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the
deserted nest of a hawk or crow. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground. The
mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads her
feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
As the young birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical
expressions. They claim for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and
beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken.
