My good friend the late Al Grewe did extensive work on Great =20 Horned Owls and there nesting Habits. I distinctly recall him =20 commenting, on how detrimental winter hikers were on owl nesting =20 success. Once flushed from a nest, an incubating Great Horned Owl is =20= not likely to soon return. Given the time of year these birds nest, =20= the eggs are likely to be compromised. In the interest of the bird, =20 I=92d strongly suggest staying away from incubating owls, and not =20 giving up their nest locations.
