Babies and parents have been doing well since the eagle attack. If you missed that thread, go check it out. Nobody got hurt, but it’s crazy to see how these raptors both fight and defend against each other. Someone else posted the eagle attack the owls, and I found a slo mo of it and also showed a GHO send an eagle flying from the news.

Everyone seems healthy and there has been lots of food in the nest to go around.

The babies are standing up and should be opening their eyes soon.

Check them out on the RaptorCAM or if you scroll down on the desktop version of the site, they post still highlights.

Such a great picture. Reminds me of a cat! I love these birds so much. GHOs are my favorite.

It’s hard for me to pick just one favorite, but GHO is definitely top tier!

Big, powerful, great coloration, nice tufts, classic hoot call. This owl checks all the boxes!

The hoot and their super expressive faces are what do it for me!

If you find an injured owl:

Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.

Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.

Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.

If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.
