365 Theme 254: Recycled


This is the same nest as in the first image of my Sunday Six for March 22nd. It is about fifty feet from where I park my car at work. As I mentioned in the comments in the Sunday Six, great horned owls do not build nests. This nest was built by a pair of red-tailed hawks who had used it the previous two years. Clearly I was wrong about it just being a day roost for the owl.

This is a great find and a great photo. I love the way you interpreted the theme.

Owls also kill hawk chicks so it could just be a snackbar, or am I being morbid AGAIN. Ya Gotta Love Owls, the silent killers.

I love owls - this is great both for the theme and as a bird shot.

Interesting that the owls do not build their own nest. Great idea for the theme and a great shot!
