Observation details
This female GHOW was first reported to eBird during the week of February 19 by Keith M. but was noticed settling in to the osprey platform by local photographer Sherrie T. on February 16. Sherrie monitored the nest closely over the next month and a half, and I also made frequent trips to the area to look for owl pellets to contribute to the Maine Owl Pellet Project. Sherrie reported seeing this owl's mate bringing her food on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, despite braving multiple intense storms, the female abandoned her nest during the night of April 4 due to a combination of winds exceeding 55 mph and heavy, wet snow.
