The Great Horned Owls I have seen nesting in trees were in nests composed of large sticks and twigs. That said, most birds including owls and hawks line their nests with finer and softer material than the nest structure. Birds of North America online states, "Lining may include strips of bark, fresh green conifer, or deciduous sprigs, corn cobs, husks, stalks, aspen catkins, and other similar items." However birds will use what is locally available so it is possible that this might be the lining of a Red-tailed Hawks nest.SeEtta Mosshttp://birdsandnature.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-40240311360391229802009-11-04T13:48:46.362-07:002009-11-04T13:48:46.362-07:00Great Horneds usually use other's nests-- crow...Great Horneds usually use other's nests-- crow, Hawk.
