Hi all owl friends!

Have to tell you, had so great time in Alberta. My very first time I heard Male GHO and Female calling - and actually saw Female answering!! Amazing.

Made a 8 pics slideshow of it. There you can see, when and how Female answers; muscle movements are shown, tail feathers moving, rising.

Female GHO answers Male's calling in Alberta Canada. 15 April 2011.

Sorry, that no voices includes... BUT this is how it went.

Male: hu-huu-huu-huu /repeating the same/

In this point female only listened, her ears turned toward voices. After male had renewed call several times, then female started to answer.

Female: hu-huhuhuu-huhuu-huu /once/

Then female stayd listen again. And male called, and so on! When this had happened several times, male changed his call:

Male: hu,hu,hu,hu,hu So tempo was also faster.
Female: hu-huhuhu-huhuhu-huu

The situation seemed to come more intense, and then - cam offline.

Don't know what is happened, but can't find here no more than one chick. This parent looks also a bit different compared earlier.


On 12 April, at least then, there were still 2 chiks.

Some Owl News...

OMS Owl / GHO, Reno NV / Local chat:

On Friday night the Owlet left the nest with mixed results.She ended up tangled in a fence. Only damage seems to be some broken wing tips. Mama was close by watching.
Other birds started harassing her and the decision was made to move her to rehab. She was pronounced well.

Ellis Bird farm/ GHO, Alberta Canada/ Cam page:

GHO Ellie has two owlets, their presence was confirmed on April 23rd and 25th.

- Mom owl has not yet showed none of them to me.
