A new male Great Horned Owl "Wink" came to the ORI Farm Cam territory in late November and had been hooting up a storm until he attracted a new mate "Dottie". Although they were a mating pair, Dottie spent nearly 3 weeks on their nest, but unfortunately the nest failed. They have continued to spend their time together near the ORI Farm Roost Explore.org cam here.
