i think the area is pretty accessible too

metronycguy's post in the NY forum made me remember this link to some bird cams set up to watch different bird species. The Great Horned Owl is one that is starting to nest now. Anyway here is the link:

I just spent a little time reading some of the Owl cam posts. There are two eggs in the nest now. From what I read the second one just showed up today. They have named the female Edna and her mate is Dan. A rabbit can be seen in some of the pictures in the forum posts. Neat things are starting to happen. Check out today's 6-7PM pictures and you can see the two eggs.

thank you! I couldn't tell that was a rabbit.

Capn, that reminds me of my son. When he was a toddler, he would cover his eyes and say "You can't see me!!" Every so often he would put his hand down then open an eye like that owl. LOL

Thanks for sharing!
