Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)

Probably the most photographed owl nest in Washington state.

 

This owl has been on the nest since early December and still no owlets. My conjecture is that she lost the first brood and layed a second set of eggs. This pair has consistently produced young at this location for many years in a row. In a typical year I'm able to find the male owl nearby, haven't seen it at all this winter. Odd to not be seeing young this late into Winter at this location.

 

Any other informed opinions on what may be going with this nest??
