Just saw this posted by Landings Bird Cam - Savanna; hoping that things will still turn out ok:
"Some of you have noticed that we haven't seen the male Great Horned Owl recently or any recent feedings of the owlet. Our partners at Cornell Lab of Ornithology has posted this info for the viewers of the Great Horned Owl cam:
'Advisory: Possible Issue at Owls' Nest'
For the first few weeks post-hatching, the majority of the food at a Great Horned Owl nest is provided by the male owl. Unfortunately, the male owl at the Savannah nest has not been heard or seen since March 2, and the last time the owlet has been seen eating was the morning of March 4.
It’s unclear whether the female owl will be able to catch enough prey to raise the owlet herself, but there are records of single-parent Great Horned Owl nests successfully fledging multiple owlets and we are hopeful that, if the male owl does not return, there could still be a successful nesting season.
We understand if viewers would prefer not to watch until the outcome is clearer. We will continue streaming from the site to discover what the future might hold for the Savannah Great Horned Owl nest."
