2021 Barred Owl Cam

 For bird lovers, there is much information and live action via the bird cams on the All About Birds website.  I particularly like the barred owl bird cam which you can watch live here. We have a mating pair of barred owls.  I've never been able to spot their nest.  I think it is deep in the swamp. Last year there were 3 owlets.  The web cam is at the home of the President of Wild Birds Unlimited. this will be my third year of being a barred owl voyeur. As of today, two eggs have been laid.

It is a wonderful thing to watch, but not for the faint of heart.  Barred owls are very opportunistic eaters.  As the female sits on the eggs, the male brings all sorts of things for her to eat:  frogs, birds, snakes, worms, squirrels.  The nest box becomes part of a larder. It is the natural order of things, but for those with more delicate sensibilities could be unsettling.

The quality of the video is excellent.  There is both an inside and an outside camera provide crisp video.  If you have an interest in owls, why not take a look?

The All About Birds website is a wealth of information to help you learn about your backyard birds.  Please consider donating if you find it useful.
