For 7 years Great Horned owls have nested in a huge 鈥渂all鈥 that has grown on top of our backyard pine tree. I have chronicled and taken lots of pictures throughout the years. Since they have decided to raise their families in such an environment where there is a lot of human activity, I like to think we鈥檝e built an understanding and trust. We continue with our everyday activities and both mom and dad seems to accept it. When babies have branched and start exploring they have literally waddled up towards us. I never know if it鈥檚 the same owls each year or if some of the babies actually come back to nest. All I know is they鈥檙e a joy for us each year along with our neighbors.
