A family of Great Horned Owls made a nest site in a old brick building, That brick building was the old Lithia Brewing Company in downtown West Bend, WI.
The birds made home to a old air vent and had 3 owlets that year. The building is now tore down, The birds have moved on. I was lucky enough to watch them grow up from small white fuzz balls to flying out into the new world.
Doesn’t look abandoned to me.
If they nest there a few more year, I think they can file for the deed and take legal ownership!
If they get the brewing operation set up and running again, then I will be completely impressed.
Find a bear to sublet to. Call it the owlbear brewery. Rake in the nerd money.
