Evening thread.

Thanks for sending me the picture of the owl.  Hard for me to tell what the species is from the photo.

Could be a Great Horned, but could also be a Barred owl, which are very common around here. While owls might be a threat, they have always been around the Shepherdstown nest, and will continue to be.  I think the threat is minimal.

Perhaps some of you will remember when a red tailed hawk, also very common around here,  got too close to the nest when there were you in it.  One of the adult eagles "took it out" in a very violent fashion, as witnessed by a couple of NCTC folks.

Afternoon thread.  Still waiting for a visible on the cam visit.  As said in last post the eagles were around the tree last night.
