The Potted Owl is waiting for her eggs to hatch The great horned owl named River has more than 7K followers on social media BY MARGARET FAUST APRIL 10, 2024 About a month ago, Christine and John Moczynski got some new neighbors — and it’s completely upended their lives. Now, when West Bend resident Christine gets home from work as a dental hygienist, she sits in her darkened living room in front of three computer screens and watches the neighbors. Be advised the owls are LOUD! youtu.be/D0VZW41l3Gswww.wpr.org/news/potted-owl-river-oscar-eggs-hatch-waiting-west-bend

Thank you for sharing this! I have always loved big birds and watching them in their natural environment is such a treat. I will keep watching for the hatching.

Awwww, this pair is about five miles from where I live so I’ve been following them on Facebook. I even drove past and could see River up on the deck in the pot. The two eggs should be hatching any day now.

Sadly, there was a fb post today that River, the female owl, ate one of her eggs, and seems to have abandoned the other egg and nest. Experts think the eggs were nonviable, as they were laid in mid-March and not February.

Experts think the eggs were nonviable, as they were laid in mid-March and not February. I saw that. So sad. I was wondering if the eggs would hatch. I know River was vigilant about staying with them, but wouldn't the soil in the pot be too cold for the eggs? I don't know much about owls, so not sure if they build nests using twigs, straw or grass, and other stuff like that. But maybe the soil was alright, just not the right time.
