[cobirds] Great-horned Owls Nesting

Hi Cobirds,
 
We have a pair of nesting Great-horned owls in our open space.  Does anyone know if this spring storm will be a risk to their success?  They have been sitting for about 3 to 4 weeks. 
 
I found it interesting that these owls are nesting in a Cooper's hawk nest that has been active the past two years.  The Cooper's are not back yet, but I have wondered if they will overlap.  This nest is in an open space active with joggers, dog walkers, etc.  One day I saw a group of 10 people looking at the owls which concerned me, but the owls have stayed put. 
 
Thank you,
Lynn Ackerman
