Tweeters,

Thanks to Bob Mauritsen for his directions and to two unnamed people
who were there before me, I was able to located the Great Horned Owl
nest at the North end of Spencer Island. The nest has two down
covered owlets in it. I watched them eating something. It was
approximately 11:30 AM. Does this mean that the parents store food in
the nest for them to eat during the day?. I assume it was the female
owl sitting on the nest with the young. There was another owl
roosting nearby in an evergreen tree. It seemed smaller than the one
in the nest but I'm not good at size comparisons unless the birds are
sitting right next to each other.

Oh, and by the way, Margie Palmer and I saw Hale-Bopp Comet while
driving West on I-90 coming back from our trip to Cheney. We pulled
off at the Gorge exit to look at it through our binoculars. Very
spectacular! It was great to be able to see it in front of us for
quite a distance while driving on the interstate. Cloud cover tonight
has prohibited me from showing it to my daughter. Maybe tomorrow
night.
