Did you know that some birds start nesting even in winter? The great horned owl is one of the earliest! In the southern US, they nest as early as November, and in the Midwest, they can begin by mid-January.❄️ With an incubation of about a month, their young will fledge just in time for the peak of prey availability. Nature’s timing is truly amazing! Keep an eye out for these resilient owls this winter! 🌌💚 📸Photo 73383364 © Rebecca Warren Dreamstime.com Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening #ZEISS #ZEISSNature #birdwatching
