I've done little homework and learned: Normally, two to four eggs are laid and incubated by the female only for 26-35 days.

If our GHO has laid an egg when was seen first time at the nest, so the 26 days is here - let us see, how it's go!

:owl: Hi all owl friends! :owl:

Have to tell you, had so great time in Alberta. My very first time I heard Male GHO and Female calling - and actually saw Female answering!! Amazing.


Made a 8 pics slideshow of it. There you can see, when and how Female answers; muscle movements are shown, tail feathers moving, rising.

Kuva Female GHO answers Male's calling in Alberta Canada. 15 April 2011.

Sorry, that no voices includes... BUT this is how it went.

Male: hu-huu-huu-huu /repeating the same/

In this point female only listened, her ears turned toward voices. After male had renewed call several times, then female started to answer.

Female: hu-huhuhuu-huhuu-huu /once/

Then female stayd listen again. And male called, and so on! When this had happened several times, male changed his call:

Male: hu,hu,hu,hu,hu So tempo was also faster.
Female: hu-huhuhu-huhuhu-huu

The situation seemed to come more intense, and then - cam offline. :slap: :slap: :slap:

Don't know what is happened, but can't find here no more than one chick. This parent looks also a bit different compared earlier. :|

Flight Exercises on ... looks better all the time, the smallest gathering the courage for this phase of development. During the day, still enjoy being together.
