From Conservative of SW Florida
Two great horned owlets were recently admitted to our wildlife hospital. The rescuer found one of the owlets near his back door/lanai. He knew that there were great horned owls in the area, but not exactly where the baby's nest would be. The rescuer brought the baby to our wildlife staff and our veterinarian checked for injuries.
Our staff told him to keep an eye out for any activity such as parents or other siblings. The following day, he found the nest with the second sibling in it. Their parents had made a nest in a dead palm.
We sent one of our volunteers out to check the area and trees. When our volunteer arrived, she noticed that the second owlet had fallen as well. Once both babies were medically cleared, we were able to renest. A local tree company helped us put up a new nest. After the successful renesting their mother was seen back in the nest with her babies the next day.
