Great Horned Owls using an abandoned Red Tailed Hawk nest at Flint Creek Savannah
Four weeks later, haven't seen them on the nest for 3 weeks, but the pair is still hanging around in the oak grove at Flint Creek Savannah.
Still haven't seen any chicks in the nest.

Swing and a miss. Red-tailed Hawk grabs at a squirrel on the bird feeder pole.
The squirrel made it up inside the baffle in the nick of time.
The hawk only grabbed the squirrel's tail and the pole at the same time, but couldn't pull the squirrel out of the baffle.
The hawk had no choice but to let go and fly away.
Note the tuft of tail fur on the ground at the right of the base of the pole.
This Red-tailed Hawk didn't miss. Poor gray squirrel.
Didn't miss this one
Take out dinner.
That's a lot of weight to get airborne.
Looking for a quieter spot for dinner.
