it takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early
in the year. In a january and febraury, or as late as march in the north the male
calls to the female with a resonant hoot. The female is larger than male. She
sometimes reaches 5 body lenght of twenty-two to twenty- four inches, with a
wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange courtship
dance. He bobs, He bows. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties
into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. 10 they share the
repast, after wich she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though
keeping time to the beat of ann inner drum.

Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large bollow in a tree or even
to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. 15 These structures are large and
rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls
nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground, even to occupy the deserted
nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and
bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest 20 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 abaout
her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.

25 it is five weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell.
As the young birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes
and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and keep the parents busy
supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby
crows are 30 taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the
hungry family, it is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their
own food. The parent birds weary of the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds
weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish.
