Owl Cam: Maybe a Week To Go

The owlets in the nest box have been growing at an astounding rate, and are well on their way to fledging. The parents have been delivering food constantly, and the chicks get more active and inquisitive all the time.

The parents have been out and about quite a bit, and seem unbothered by the presence of observers and paparazzi.

This seems like a good time to reminisce about past broods. It’s hard to know how long these particular parents have been rearing young in Terry’s box, but screech owls have been nesting there for many years. Terry has many more excellent photos; here is a small sampling.

The drama in the nest box continues. Based on past broods, he expects them to fledge on or about May 22. As always, stay tuned for more.
