Ms Harvey, the Great Horned Owl cam

[Kris G.]

The little jumper from Saturday night!! When we brought the baby down from the nest box at 9 pm, we did not have time to put pine needles in the nest box in this cage. We just opened the door and put the baby in, in the dark..This is the baby owl we got from the Princeton area and tried to put back in the nest box, that did not work, so it ended up with Baum until it is flighted. Baum is feeding and protecting it from me for now.


Baum and her new adoptee!

This is what happens when anyone walks past this cage now with the baby in it. Baum is a very protective bird when it comes to "her" baby. You have to be very careful when going past her home. She lost her right eye in the car injury, but that does stop her from being one mean owl.

Baum was a car hit and was picked up by Don over 10 years ago. We needed some owl feathers to imp another owl that was ready for release. This bird was thought to be dead and was in the cap of Dons truck, when she started to come to and her talons were working. I got a call and Don said "come and get this dead owl" She now lives in a 12 x 16 cage and gets fresh food every night.

What a great foster mom! Great story!

I like what she said at the end there-"I'm old enough where I don't have to explain it to anybody, I can just do it"!  Sounds like words to live by!
