female with a resonant hoot The female is larger than the male She sometimes reaches a
body length of twenty-two to twenty-four inches, with a wingspread up to fifty inches To impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance He bobs He bows He ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air Sometimes he returns with an offering of food They share the repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum Owls are poor home builders They prefer to nest in a large hollow
in a tree or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads
her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold It is five
weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell As the young birds
feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions They
clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles Later in the season baby crows are taken Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest
