The quiet rhythm of the Wildflower Center owl nest shifted again on March 9 when Athena the Great Horned Owl revealed a second egg beneath her.
Just over four days after laying the first egg of the 2026 season, Athena added another to her growing clutch at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. The moment marks another milestone for one of the most closely followed owl nests in North America.
