Woohoo! Thank you both for the great pictures and video! What a relief to see Mom safe.

5:06 PM Mom regurgitated a small fish and the 4 chicks dive bombed it. She had to hold it in place at one point.

Here is a link to the 5th Great Horned Owl attack video at the nest. This is a link from the Cornellherons on Twitter.

Latest GHO attack at nest

The screen will go black and you will hear the reaction of the Dad GBH. Images do return. It is at 3:54 AM so there is little light.

Thanks for the updates and s'caps everyone. Smile
Lovely vid priscillsh. It looks like they're sitting around playing a close quarters game of tag.
Thanks for the link to last night's attack Nanc.
"I've been looking at a lot of baby heron pictures and the only thing I could think of was how much their "hair" looks like Rod Stewart's hair early in his career---and they sound like him too!" Oh that is priceless Mary! Rolling on floor laughing

Around 6 am Mom got up and the chicks started in with the clacking and a little minor pecking. One grabbed Mom's toe. Titter
A couple of minutes later she was back down on them.
