Happy Mother’s Day! These little ones have left the nest and begun to hunt. I've enjoyed watching Mom on the far right nurture and guard her three babies.

The Bronx lately

A couple young Great Horned owls last Friday, the remaining pair from a brood of three in the Bx. This week I learned the other died, likely due to rodenticide still used on the grounds. So unfortunate. These two stuck together while their fated sibling went deeper in the forest.

I keep my distance from birders chasing stats & clout. He saw in 4 min what took me 2 yrs, not from legwork, but by asking me. I requested he not post. He posted anyway. Every time I've shared owl locations, I've regretted it. The reward is in the search itself.

Lesson learned.
