I'm really worried about Snowflake & Dan. Her face is so dark and wet looking but I don't think it's from a kill. Great Horned Owls use their feet & talons for that.

I've looked through all the archive pics as well. These eggs have hardly been covered at all and even when they were it was not in incubating position. I really can't tell if this is Mom or Dad. Last night I thought for sure it was Dad in my pic. Haven't heard from Chris yet to know if she got a reply to her email.

I wish Xcel had better contact info!!!

I'm not certain if there is even an instinct in male GHO's to incubate. The female does all the incubating while he provides the food. The females are so much bigger than the males.

That's what I thought too Juanita - never saw Dan incubate. So is we assume this is Snowflake, then perhaps Dan is missing? Something has obviously happened though.

what would be a threat to a GHO?

I emailed Dr. Pat Redig of the University of Minnesota's Raptor Center about Snowflake's face and included a cam image. Dr. Redig's reply is:

Hi, Juanita - my guess, based on observation of similar occurrences, is that she perched on the edge or rim of a chimney and took a blast of hot effluent gases in the face - like at a foundry or something where they intermittently fire the furnace and feed a lot of air into it so that a flume of hot gas rises quickly up the chimney. Maybe other causes, but this is one I've seen.

Thank you Juanita for sending the correspondence/photo to Dr. R
I hope SF can recover and look forward to a healthy 2011.
