:?: I wonder if it ever left to get some food. If not it would be very hungry by now, wouldn't it? I was so hoping it would have left last night. Is that an indication it is not feeling the best?

I know it hadn't left by "cam" dark...we don't have anyway of knowing if it left during the night to eat. GHO will hunt during the day as well...so, I'm hoping if its hungry enough, it will head on out...

Ugh. It has been constantly cloudy here so it's likely no power. Sure hope this isn't a long term problem, we are getting more snow the next few days.

the cam came back briefly and both were still in there. The Dome appears to be frozen over..(and cam is back off as I type this)..

I don't know what can be done. The weather is too bad for anybody to go out there to evict them..maybe install bars...but, don't know if that would even keep them out..

this is very upsetting...

Cam control response time is very slow...so, I won't be able to track anything if they move out or if it appears somebody has landed on the platform..right now, one appears to be vocalizing..both are crouched down in the box..

The owl crouched, turned around, crouched some more, kind of layed down...... is she laying an egg?? Oh Mitchell! Oh Eve!! I think Mitchell and Eve are there - the owl will scowl out the opening and flatten its "ears", and sometimes it turns its head toward the back like maybe M or E are on top of the igloo.....

Wow, this is bad news for the falcons. They are no match for these owls I think.

I don't think there is an egg, but not 100% for sure..I've been monitoring as best as I can...I have to wonder if they lost their previous nest in one of these storms. I know we don't have a lot of GHO cams to monitor, but the ones we do have either have babies or eggs already..whatever the reason they are here, I just hope its temporary...but, I'm not holding my breath...for all we know, Mitchell and Eve are already scouting out other potential nest sites..they are no match for the current occupants..
