It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year In
January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the 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 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 to search for their own food The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges
of their own

Internet jobs
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online Of course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of
Webmaster However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform
To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software
the website the Webmaster will manage is running on Different types of hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally
or externally (renting shared space on the company servers) Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people
to help All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job description

freelance workers online has become common business practice The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services An added benefit to such online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country
How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to today’s evolving technology, there is no simple answer There are many companies willing to pay people with Internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year,
but salaries can vary greatly Freelance writers working online have been known to make between
$40,000 to $70,000 a year
