A new resident has moved into Tallgrass Creek, a continuing care retirement community in Overland Park, and this one – much like the late actress Greta Garbo – wants to be left alone. At least until she gives birth to her babies.

The new resident is a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) who this month inhabited the nest of a red tail hawk and who plans to stay there until her eggs hatch in early March. The owl is about 25 inches long with a 60-inch wingspan. She is estimated to weigh as much as 60 pounds. Incredibly, she has not moved from the nest -- not even in the midst of the recent snow blizzard.
