  • We photographed a nest of Bubo bubo kiautschensis in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, which had laid 3 eggs and was incubating the eggs. Although 2 chicks were hatched from the 2 eggs, one of them disappeared and the other of them died in March 8, 2007. After that, the parent bird ate the dead chick and left the nest abandoning breeding the next day.
