Those babies are huge ! Thank you from Michigan. Thanks to some chickadees I saw a GHO on a walk thru woods near my home in daytime with my lab. Beautiful and about two feet tall !
I wish my nest platform would be utilized by great horned owls. I even built the nest for them since they don’t build their nest themselves. Nothing but squirrels the last few years.
Encountered a great horned owl 2 weeks ago during the day in a park in central Kansas. He was there in a heartbeat when I let my tiny 3lb terrier off leash to run. I had to scare him off, I'm sure they are VERY HUNGRY by mid Feb
I used a Nikon D500 and a 600mm f/4 lens, that I set up on a tripod, started the video and then walked away. Unfortunately I can only capture 30 minutes of video at a time.
I wish I could set up a live camera, but the location is far from electricity, and a cellular connection to create a live feed would cost me way too much.
It's 2x2 feet. I did some research before I built it and that was what I found as the recommendation. Normally they use an old hawk nest, so this tries to simulate that.
Hey Eric! I have an Owl Box in my weeping willow. The owls have come back for three years now and I'm hoping to set something up exactly like you did. Any chance you'd be willing to give me some information on how you got this done and what equipment you used? Beautiful video by the way.
