What does a great horned owl's nest look like? I have seen a big nest I
assumed was the bald eagle's on the east side. So far, haven't learned
whether anyone's in it, but I check at least once/week hoping to find out
what--if anything's--in there. It's hard to see up through the trees from
the rim road at Seward.
