GHO Nest update . . . .

Well there is some good news, and some bad news. The bad new first: It appears that the owl nest has been essentially ruined by yesterdays winter storm. There is barely anything left of the nest. The good news is that both owlets were still on what was left of the nest and appear to be stable and comfortable. Hopefully the birds are far enough along in there development that they will be able to get through the next few weeks. Compare these shots of the nest to my previous post on these owls to see the difference in the nest size.
