Glenshaw has studied Charles the great horned owl in Forest Park
the owl has fathered 27 owlets with seven mates
“Charles just keeps unfolding new chapters in his life,” said Glenshaw, who visits the park daily to observe <a   href="https://www.instagram.com/forestparkowls/" class="Link"  target="_blank" data-cms-ai="0"   >Charles and the other great horned owls that call the park home</a>
and the dynamics of the owls and their interactions in the park are complex and ever-growing.”
Glenshaw was excited to see <a   href="https://www.stlpr.org/show/st-louis-on-the-air/2023-04-19/sorry-ladies-forest-parks-famous-great-horned-owl-charles-has-found-a-new-mate" class="Link"  target="_blank" data-cms-ai="0"   >Charles pair with his seventh mate, Tess, in 2023</a>
Glenshaw expected they would begin to nest
the only real conclusion I can draw from her disappearance is that she most likely died,” he said
a new female great horned owl entered the scene
and her head bobbing behavior indicated that she’s about a year old
as she and Charles are in a “May-December romance.”
the mating season has come and gone with no sign of mating and nesting from Charles and May
Glenshaw said it’s likely due to May being so young and inexperienced in mating behaviors
“Charles really knows what it takes to have a successful parenting partnership
and I think Charles looked at her and said
and I'm not going to go there with you yet,’” Glenshaw said
but it's still clear that she's still learning about the birds and the … birds.”
Glenshaw added that <a   href="https://www.stlpr.org/health-science-environment/2025-01-13/st-louis-just-missed-breaking-heat-record-2024" class="Link"  target="_blank" data-cms-ai="0"   >unusually warm temperatures</a> last fall were likely a contributing factor to the couple’s ongoing courtship
owls will hoot together with growing intensity as they build to mating and nesting in the early winter
These duets are how they court and bond with each other — and how they declare and defend their territories
and I think this threw off the owls,” he said
“Instead of duetting intensely on brisk autumn nights
they hooted together less intensely — and on some nights not at all
When temperatures finally began to decline
they had less time to build up to mating and nesting through duets.”

Mary was born shortly before her twin sister on August 29
to parents John &ldquo;Scotty&rdquo; and Bridget &ldquo;Delia&rdquo; McGuinness
Mary would fondly recall the childhood bond she had with her siblings
and the multitude of activities she was involved with in school
She once said how she &ldquo;lucked out&rdquo; when meeting Joseph Wagner on a blind date arranged by her friend in 1955
They married in April of 1957 and built their home shortly after
home that the two raised their family and hosted decades of gatherings for children
and countless extended family members and friends
Christmas celebrations were especially a priority for Mary
Mary was a devoted homemaker and mother who
despite her best efforts to scare off Bernie
eventually called him her one and only favorite son-in-law
she especially enjoyed reading and watching the deer from her back porch
Mary also worked at H&amp;R Block and served as an election poll worker for many years
She was never known to turn down dessert or a glass of wine and could rarely go anywhere without running into someone she knew
a trip to grandma&rsquo;s house was always met with excitement and the assurance of a well-stocked cookie drawer
She is survived by her children Mary Ann Shields (Bernard) of Munhall
and Brian (Lisa) of Allison Park; grandchildren: Mara
and Brian; Melissa and Patrick Jr.; Ethan and Rhiannon; great-grandchildren: Maggie
and Anna; Kal and Grayson; Lilly and Charlotte; Michael; and Kenzie
Celebrate Mary and her son Patrick&#39;s lives with their family on Monday
March 3rd from 9-10 AM at PERMAN FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICES
A joint Mass will follow at 10:30 AM at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish
The family suggests donations be made in Mary&rsquo;s honor to the UPMC Senior Communities Benevolent Care Fund
To view the Funeral Mass at 10:30am Monday
