At 16:18 Mom got up to stretch and gave us the first glimpse of the new hatchling! Not obvious but that’s the chick spreading it’s wings and taking a step in the very closeup shot!    

Not to mention talons! Mom takes a quick break and camera zooms in to see if we can detect any sound or see any vibration from inside the eggs. No pips yet, but when Mom comes back we get a great view of her toes and talons. Great Horned Owls are fiercely protective of their nests and will attack animals many...

Just in case you missed it a few hours ago, Mom and Dad were together on the nest this evening January 31, 2015 at about 6:20. This is one of the few times we’ve seen both of them on the nest in the 30 days the eggs have been incubating. In the video below, he arrives just after she’s left the nest for a...

… sharing a meal December 16th. As this is being written, Mom’s continuing to incubate the eggs, and they may hatch in just a few days.

So we are changing our Facebook account from Savannah-Eagle-Cam-At-The-Landing to the more generic and likely to be accurate www.facebook.com/LandingsBirdCam....

There were a lot of critters around the nest this morning, and we captured a bit of the video before the stream had gone live. This footage may help to answer one of the frequently asked questions: What’s the range of motion of a Great Horned Owl’s (GHO’s) head? Most of the references we’ve seen indicate a range of 270 degrees. “Great...

Our Owl Cam is streaming to you 24/7 from The Landings, Savannah, in coastal Georgia. This nest is 85 feet in the air. The pair of Great Horned Owls who have claimed this former eagle’s nest as their own have been seen in and around the nest since late October. They’ve nested now and mom’s sitting on two eggs. We...
