2022 Savannah Great Horned Owl Cam Season Highlights | Skidaway Audubon | Cornell Lab

[@julbears1675]

I so enjoyed watching this owl family from before there was an egg, through all the trials and tribulations of nearby nest predators, watching and listening to the parents communicate, wondering if the dad had been killed or otherwise abandoning his family when Mom was sitting on the egg (I was concerned about a possible nest failure) , to the amazement of so many types of food being brought for young "Owlie", and then watching him wingercise his way into flight. Such an amazing story! Many thanks for these bird cams and folks who make it possible!

Frankly amazed that dad successfully snagged a great egret. Those are enormous birds.

[@condordm7806]

I followed this, when he left it hurt the heart. Good luck to him.

[@debdew7125]

Thank you Cornell. Was wonderful to be able to view the lives of these elusive beautiful Great Horned Owls! To see the teamwork of Mom and Dad raising the owlet. Owlbrey 🦉 was so precious! I hope they come back to the nest!

[@bassnovice]

I have a great horned owl in my tree and this is a super interesting video to help me learn more about this amazing animal. And...owl legs...I just can't!

[@beem6401]

Awesome miracle of the birth of an owlet!

[@fisheye7440]

Thank you! Owl is one of the most beautiful birds.

[@lavedamalu2161]

What an incredible capture this was by you all! I am so relieved that the Red Tail Hawks were thwarted and watching this whole thing is so precious because they are living in the wild instead of a zoo. Thank you for this. I hope that you continue with this type of work.

[@ludmilla728]

Thank you so much for a great movie - it 's a memory ! I watched the whole last season from Estonia, I really love owls!

[@karinfoley7030]

This was wonderful. I just saw the recap but I had no idea great horned owls would take another species of owl as prey or something the size of an egret. Fascinating!!

[@sherriianiro747]

We had a nest here by an upstairs bedroom window in a large Norway spruce so we had a bird's eye view of the 3 owlets for about a year! It was fascinating!

[@gloria-kn8wo]

How lovely! What a wonderful treat to see an owlet being reared by it's parents.

[@ColleenCZC]

Wow! That is amazing and awesome! Nature is truly wonderful! And yes, I am one who is surprised at the variety of meals the owlet got to eat! Thanks for sharing!

[@idreamtiwasbackatmanderley414]

I watched it all from France during the winter and beginning of spring. It was quite a ride from the attacks (2) by hawks to the variety of food. Once I became very worried because owlet seemed to have a bone stuck in its throat. I was feeling quite proprietary towards the end and very proud of owlet! - I am aware this is a bit of an absurd feeling ...

[@turkeyman100]

It's not that absurd at all :)

[@CONNECTELECTRIC]

04:09 That was goodbye. I couldn't believed I cried that day. 😢

[@lalunamesigue2660]

I can't wait for a new little owlet, beautiful with great appetite! So, I hope to see the same good parents!!!

[@Wasgehtwieundwarumundwieso]

That was a great time. Good luck little owl. We hope the Best for you. Thx for a good time.

For things like this I need a ❤ button

[@paulbosacki3386]

It’s great to see this! Thanks again for sharing this with us. I can’t believe the father got a great egret. I see them every day, and they are four feet tall.

[@loriconley7127]

Fascinating powerful birds. Thank you

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I enjoyed watching the live series, and the recap is a great synopsis. Having been a long time viewer of the barred owl cam seeing it as food is heartbreaking because the female and nestlings need the male to bring food. The female cannot incubate and forage. But when I first saw the feathers I thought the female owl had been attacked. These videos are s great way to cultivate appreciation for wildlife.

[@nancyblasi9483]

Nicely edited to show the lifecycle. Thanks for sharing.

Great Horned Owls are so friggin’ brutal! I love it!

This is so magical, what amazing birds!

[@shimkonise357]

This was amazing to watch! Thank you!

[@rosemarylandy2344]

Fantastic capture of the season, what a success it was!

[@melissawarfield]

Awesome video! I had no idea that owl's would bring other bird's to the nest. Just thought it was small prey that owl's brought to the nest. Loved seeing the growth of the owlet.

[@maryochs8353]

This was thrilling to see and being “up close” Thank you

[@alanaforrest6277]

So cool - thank you for sharing!!

Me and my gf got married on Christmas eve but ALL year we watched the owlette grow and web thay was gone it was like ya kid leaving home lol miss watching them every night

[@qflower4982]

Oooh this is Owlbrey !🥰🥰🥰 This was a lovely GHO family to follow on the live-cams 🙏.

[@ellenderee350]

What a fantastic video, thanks.

[@Allison-gf3cg]

Love this so much!

[@vvwallace4969]

Fantastic. Thanks!

[@jacquelinek]

Great video!

[@steveshirato3620]

Wonderful video, thanks. In the fall of 2019, I was graced with a breeding pair of GHO's moving in our tree line community. Since the spring of 2020 I have experienced the seasonal visits of their fledges-juvies (one a year) and their nighttime calling. Then in August, sometimes sooner, the callings stop. I only hope that they have willing left their parents to stake out their own territory. It is this time period that is the great mystery. I wish someday someone could monitor this Exodus of the young adult and its future adventures.

[@joebruce9200]

Absolutely beautiful.

Oh wow, this is amazing! I didn't see the live stream for this GH Owl nest. Hopefully I will see it next season!♥️

I hope she come back.

[@madelinedelvalle3666]

Wasn't this originally an abandoned eagle nest that the reat horned owls took. They had this nest for a few years then the osprey's took it for a couple of years. Now once again the owls are back. I'm glad to see them here. I surely miss Alison and her brother though.

[@barbs.7367]

I followed this family too, must admit I did worry about this youngster a time or two.

[@PhotoTrainer]

Interesting to see the predatory ruthlessness as it holds up the risks they face from other predators. Frogs n snakes and mice make sense. Other birds including egrets is really amazing. Itis a bird eat bird world out there! ~TEU

[@irmarichards7764]

Very interesting !!

[@MsKriskohler]

Thank you for this fascinating clip about the family life of my favorite raptor. Not so different from the human species!!

@@Wasgehtwieundwarumundwieso Yes, the Great Horned Owl fed its' baby a Barred Owl.

[@schen5425]

🦜@FREAKY it was another type of owl fed to the little one 😐 This kind of surprised me. I did watch this particular season for the first time on the Savannah Osprey nest and did see the egret at the time, but did not know it would feed an owl 🦉 to owlette. Nature never ceases to amaze me 🤷
