Re: [cobirds] El Paso, Great Horned Owl nesting spectacle

Along similar lines, there's a great horned owl with at least one owlet easily visible on the facade of the Roxborough Safeway.  On the facade is a sign for the local dental office.  The owl nest is right behind the sign, jammed up against the wall.  The owlet is getting large, but is still fuzzy.

CObirders,

For those in the vicinity, or just of general interest regarding the human-avian interface, we've got a real public display of an active Great Horned Owl nest with (it appears) two well-developed nestlings. The nest tree is right on a somewhat busy suburban intersection in NW Colorado Springs (smack between the intersection of Centennial and Vindicator, and a Walgreens shopping center parking lot)--catercorner from & oh-so-close to the NW tip of large Ute Valley Park (surely much more natural, sensible owl habitat). This pair wanted the publicity I guess. Here's a link to a handful of pics I took.
