Can a person ever tire of seeing owls?  I suspect not.

I did a bit of research, and it turns out that great horned owls usually lay their eggs in January and the eggs hatch about a month later.  So, if this mother's eggs haven't hatched yet they will be soon.  The old man is probably off hunting for food for her.
