Giant Owl Clings to Nest in Blast ‘Siege’ By Science Service * SULPHUR, Okla., April 10.—The courage inspired by mother love throughout the animal world has again been demonstrated by a great homed owl. The bird for years has nested on a narrow ledge, not more than eighteen inches in width, on the sheer face of Bromide springs, in Platt National park. This spring found her in her accustomed place, carefully guarding her eggs. Then work started on the reconstruction of the Bromide trail which passes along the bluff about fifty feet above the nest. In order to gain a footing it was necessary to blast away several tons of rock, and this blasted rock was thrown down and over the owl's nest, coming within a few feet of it. Although the bombardment of rocks continued for ten days, the mother owl never deserted her nest in what must have seemed to her a veritable no man's land. Now, however, the blasting is over, and the courageous mother has as her reward for bravery under fire two gray-white owlets, so nearly the color of the limestone ledge on which they nest that it is difficult to distinguish them from it unless they move.
