--f46d0438921755f6090516a01bd4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 21 May 2015 Bigelow Nature Trail Canning, Kings Co. NS Both parent Great-Horned Owls are still hanging around the rink on the Bigelow Nature Trail. Stopped by the soccer field, and both were being harassed by crows. The nest that was observed in the spruce this past weekend, is no longer visible. Someone told me that owls rip them down to encourage the young to leave, a quick Google search found nothing. Does anyone have any supporting evidence (anecdotal or from the literature) of this behavior or to the contrary? I thought I could hear a young owl, do it's screechy call, but couldn't see it in the trees, or get a repeat of the call. One parent is silent, the other making a strange one-syllable hoot, perhaps once every five minutes. Anyway, if you want an easy way to show your kids, or a friend an owl. This is a pretty prime opportunity. Easy walking, accessible spot.
