VALMONT GREAT HORNED OWLS VISIT

MARCH 1 2009

THIS PAIR OF GHO'S HAVE ALL READY LAID A CLUTCH OF 2 EGGS BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY ABANDON THE EGGS OR THEY WERE NOT FERTILE. CROWS/RAVENS HAVE BEEN SEEN HARASSING THE PAIR WHILE IN THE NEST. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER CLUTCH IN A FEW WEEKS?

Valmont Power Station, Boulder, CO

Our Owl Cam features a family of great horned owls that live in a nest box installed 260 feet up one of the stacks at Xcel Energys Valmont Station in Boulder, Colorado. Because of the nocturnal habits of owls, we use an infrared camera at this site that operates under low-light conditions and provides images in black and white. In addition to providing streaming video, photos for the day are saved in two-minute increments and are archived in the Daily Pix section. Local time, Mountain Standard Time (MST), is used for these images.
