Shooting an Owl at a Distance (Camera)

This is the REAL distance at which I have to shoot to get a photo of the owl's nest (red arrow). I know the photos I have been posting here aren't as clear as I would like, but given the distance I don't think they are all that bad.
If anyone knows how I can get better photos than using 300mm lens on a tripod with a timer or remote shutter release I am open to ideas.

More on the Owl
A litte better shot of the Great Horned Owl nesting in the tower. I am still quite frozen when she spreads the wings and takes off hunting in the evening. We have it pegged to 6:30pm as a prime watching time, but with Daylight Savings Time and Spring on the way, we will adjust.So far I have seen no evidence of a second Owl and that brings a lot of questions to mind. Who helps sit the eggs? ARE there any eggs? Who will help care for the babies? Al that I have read says that the owl couple co-parent. Maybe I have just missed the changing of the guard in the night.
Why are there always more questions than answers???
