Owl You Need is Love with Dane Gallagher ~ Join Dane Gallagher to look and listen for owls. Great Horned Owls are 18 inches to two feet high and have feathers that look like ears that help them listen for prey. They pair up and build nests in the middle of winter in hollow trees and on top of old hawk nests and the fluffy white young Owlets hatch in late winter and early spring. Other raptors such as Bald Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks also nest in winter when trees are bare and there is still snow on the ground when it is easier to hunt for mice to feed their rapidly growing young.
