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 have enjoyed the owl

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

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.
