Sleeping Mama Owl

Sad to report but Papa Owl was found unresponsive and taken to a wildlife rehabilitation facility where he expired. Unfortunately these magnificent creatures were nesting (and successfully fledged an owlet) a stone's throw from Chicago alleys laden with rodents that are consumers of rodenticide. Papa's necropsy confirmed that was what did him in. I checked in on mom and baby and as of Monday (about ten days after discovery of dad) and they are still with us. This was the first known pair of nesting Great Horned Owls in the area of The North Pond located in Lincoln Park near the zoo in a long long time.
