I promise she's not as scary as that, she's quite the beauty & is a precious angel 🤭

Returned last night after I slept. Another 6h hunting session. Dad spent lots of time in nest as well.

It's nice that I no longer worry she'll abandon the nest. She also seems to be looking forward to December 🥰

Luckily, mom had no issues at all, so it was probably a minor scratch.

Now then... Dad is spending some time in the nest... Does this qualify as "bonding" 🙃

Poor mom came back with a wound from her final 10-minute outing tonight, seemingly a scratch wound on the chest, towards her left wing.

Left wing was wincing every couple seconds until she settled and the drips stopped within a minute. Hope she's fine, sleeping now since shortly before sun up 😔

Can't believe how much of a drop it was from the incredible Bound by Blood (Grothmar Valley) & Whisper in the Dark (Bjora East) to the Shadow in the Ice (Bjora West) Mastery.

I'm on the edge of burning out. I feel Drakkar achievements were here, but got separated into boss category instead...

Mom finally back, this time after 6.5h hunting outside, longest yet once more

While didn't directly affect mom yet, massive improvement in dad's behavior tonight. Spent huge time in nest, wasnt sleeping/uninterested like before, nest scraping, actively calling mom for once.

Hopeful for December 🙏🤞

Interestingly, while mom was out hunting today, dad returned and for the first time, he was curiously checking out the nest and nest scraping for the first time.

Albeit late, his cycle seems to be finally kicking in, gives hope for December.

Now we need mom back, has been out hunting 5h again 🥹
November 24, 2025 at 9:11 AM
Precious mom, I really keep my fingers crossed for their December.

For now, until dad's switch is actually flipped, the most I can hope for is that she enjoys her calming winter sunbathing and that dad increases his time in the nest and starts bonding again.

Integral Factor is the purest form of Sword Art Online with top mastery over the character portrayals.

Wish the source material itself could hold onto that title 😭

Plot contrivances/necessities excluded, for both...
November 23, 2025 at 4:39 PM
Spent 5,5 hours hunting last night, longest ever, but seems like she has no intention to abandon the nest and has faith in dad owl to pick up the slouch in December for a second try, like last year.

Not exactly "bonding time" but this night was also the longest the duo spent together, about an hour

Professor & attendants say the male was an anomaly since his arrival over a year ago, causing the previous resident female to abandon nest in November, then having a successful full clutch with new (current) mom in December.

They say mom still has belief in him. If she tolerates until December...
November 22, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Well, the eggs were confirmed abandoned yesterday already but last night was scary.

Everyone assumed after 4 hours gone from the nest at night, that she finally abandoned the nest as well, and had every right to.

It was magical to still see her come back, was worth it to stay until 5am 🥹

They say it's a "time will tell" situation, she may get back up, go back to incubating, basically seeing how it all goes, as the hormonal switch is a process after all, rather than a single switch decision...

Got a call while typing and just over 10 mins later, she's back into upright roosting 😔
November 21, 2025 at 6:00 PM
After over 5 whole hours of roosting off eggs, she's back to incubating

Honestly, watching all this without any experience and a whole lot of our human biases is genuinely so hard sometimes.

Genuinely glad uni professors (stream owners) dip into chat regularly to inform us and answer questions
November 21, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Dad was more present last night, but still didn't bring prey, forcing mom to hunt multiple times...

So tired & while she hasn't abandoned the eggs, since she's been standing and sleeping for the past 2 hours, the attendants wonder if she's doing a hormonal switch to self maintenance over eggs 😭
November 21, 2025 at 2:05 PM
Persistent, putting in all the effort for her eggs, but it's only going to be harder with this dad barn owl. Grilling him every night for food, for nothing to change...

Part of me wants her to abandon for her own good, while part of me wants to see the effort she puts paid off, happy she returned
November 19, 2025 at 2:33 PM
Harsh couple days as my first nest watching... Wishing nothing but the best for the resilient mom barn owl, doing everything on her own, hunting by herself while dad is uninterested in bringing prey.

Got teary eyes when she returned after a long leave, thought she abandoned nest/eggs for good 😭
November 19, 2025 at 2:33 PM
So that's how we got to Eye of the North in the first place!

Shadow in the Ice was... Not as robust as Whisper in the Dark. Mostly open world chores but at least ended with a massive bang!

And tbh, this was the Drakkar chapter and that Meta certainly delivers.

Gotta Chapter Mastery and move on!
November 17, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Whisper in the Dark Mastery was great!

Aside from the Snowstorm Meta (bit of a drag) I feel like this was by far one of the most well balanced Masteries, with an amazingly intriguing story set up attached!

Now to West Bjora Marches! But I'll be back for Boreal Weapons & Light Puzzles!

Holy moly, Drakkar is a really cool and intense Meta! Every encounter is very fast paced, constantly moving forward and relatively chaotic (rapid) in nature, despite simple design.

Gonna be spending a lot of time with it until Chapter Mastery as usual 🤣

And of course, with the daily reset, my Saladbolg... Caladbolg has also been blessed by the Pale Tree!

A week without an event in #GuildWars2 means a lot of extra time to make progress on my chases!

Following Kudzu, I have finally unlocked my majestic Griffon!

Another little something we did. Ray did the lineart and shading, I only did the coloring. It was meant to be done on the SAO Clear Day, but we were a bit late 🥹
November 9, 2025 at 11:39 PM
Another mastery complete! But Grothmar Valley is probably one of those places that I'll return to.

Gorgeous scenery and visuals, massive variety and playful events, METAL LEGION, tons of chill and quick, rotating metas and more secrets to unravel!

Incredible start to Icebrood Saga!
