In reply to eliane mercy.

Eliane,

Merci pour votre don, et pour votre sollicitude, et surtout être un partisan en Belgique! Avec les encouragements de tout le monde, nous allons nous assurer que nous gardons cela va, aussi longtemps que possible avec cet arbre, puis nous allons trouver un autre grand nid. Cela a été une expérience incroyablement éducative pour nous tous, et beaucoup d’experts nous disent qu’ils ont acquis de nouvelles connaissances ainsi.

Thanks for your donation, and for your concern, and especially for being a supporter in Belgium! With everyone’s encouragement, we’re going to make sure that we keep this going, for as long as we can with this tree, and then we’ll find another great nest. This has been an incredibly educational experience for all of us, and a lot of experts tell us that they’ve gained new insights as well.

Donation has been made. My brother and sister-in-law live at The Landings and when my husband and I visited in early June we saw the nest! Awesome! The GHO are awesome. Hope you can keep the cameras rolling. Thank you for all you do and the updates!

Donation made. Fell in love with these owls last year and learned more than from any book or zoo! Keep up the good work and thank you!

Such sad news about the tree, Rick. I’ll keep enjoying the cameras while I can. When you take the cameras down, will the tree be taken down as well? I hate to think of that, but I don’t like to think of the owls or the ospreys nesting in an unsafe tree. Does The Landings try to retain snags where possible?

I hope you’ll be able to track down the owls, if and wherever they nest next year. It’s been wonderful to watch them these last two seasons. Has anyone caught a glimpse of any of the owl family?

Good luck and best wishes to you, the tree, the cameras and all the birds!

Pam

I understand save the expensive cams – but – can you put them in another tree?
I have enjoyed the owl

Hi Rick,

As you know there is a huge community of owl lovers (and of other birds) who have faithfully been watching the GHO family. Like you we are
All concerned about the tree. A number of people have suggested moving the cameras to a nearby tree and building a wire platform with a stick nest that would then be inviting to our GHOs. I’m sure we can start a fundraising campaign to cover the cost of this. Seeing the outpouring of support for the rescue of the last remaining Texas barn owl leads me to believe that we could quickly raise the needed money for this.

Just wanted to let you know there is lots of support and gratitude for the wonderful work that everyone has done to provide us with these magical experiences!

Thanks, Pam

Fascinating info. This is the first year that I’ve been watching the Savannah Owl cam and I had no idea that the tree the nest is located in has deteriorated to such an extent. I know that Osprey nests in Oregon are often relocated to different spots for the safety of the birds. Would this be considered in this situation and would the GHO still use the nest next year if this were done? Keep us updated.
