Hi OwlFans!
Happy 2008! Frida and Diego have started mating again!
Here are a couple of photos:

Here is a quick breakdown of how the coming events should progress:
We should start to see some egg laying around the middle of March.
The egg laying will go on for about two weeks.
In previous years, about 7 eggs have been laid.
It takes about 32 to 34 days for the first egg to hatch, so around
mid April we should start to see some babies.
The eggs then hatch every other day. As a result, the nest will
contain young of different size and age.
The young are called "owlets." They are covered with white down for
about 6 days. This is gradually replaced by a buff-colored down which
develops into a thick, woolly covering that is still in evidence for
about 50 days.
Adult plumage is acquired in about 7-1/2 weeks, at which time, after
much practicing about the nest, the young venture out for their first
lessons in flying and hunting.
If you haven't already, don't forget to send your 2008 donation.

You can pretty much count on a new egg being laid every other day.
Happy Owl Watching!
