I watched aPBS program about a man and wife who raised two owls from theegg stage to their leaving the nest; wonderful program.

We have Great Horned owls around us. We can hear them at nite in the trees near the house from time to time.

About 25 years ago in March (warm that year), Ray was out in our woods and found a baby Great Horned that fell out of the tree. It was still too young to fly but it was nearly 3 ft tall. Before dark we put it up in a tree so the raccoons or coyotes wouldn't get it. Oh man was Mama mad at us being around. She stayed about 50 yards away and was "clicking" at us the whole time.

But I think we kept that baby from being somethings supper. No feathers on the ground later.

I've been watching her all morning, it's a cold (24F) blustery morning in Savannah, I'm worried the fluffy chicks will be blown away if momma stands up.

I've had them fly right at me and nearly knock me out of my treestand many times. When they see you with a pair of forward facing predator eyes in their turf sitting in a tree the go nuts. I've had many 30 min stare downs also.

If you click on the owl link you can see the babies right now.

she is feeding them.http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channe...at_Horned_Owls

I wish I would have looked sooner I could have seen the father bring food to the nest.

I'm not positive, but I don't think the father comes to the nest. I think he is stashing food nearby. When I see the mother leave, she seems to be back to the nest in no time at all. Plus, there seems to be some sort of communication going on just before she leaves for food.

No the father brings the food to the nest.
Many owls mate for life or at least a few years.
If one of the mates dies the other will go look for another mate.
The mother owl is the one that sits on the nest while the father goes out and searches for food.
If you click on highlights they have saved clips of things going on at the nest.
The nest they are in used to be a bald eagles nest.

Here is a clip of the father bringing back food.

Good catch. I've been watching that owlcam a lot from my desk, and not once have I seen her mate enter the nest. I've seen her leave numerous times, and arrive back with prey so quick that I felt sure the male was stashing it right nearby for her.
