The owlets have been chowing down on rats pretty often for the last few days (although that squirrel three days ago was a welcome addition!). So today Dad stops by around 1:30 with a tasty snake. Looks like he got the first half, and Mom will see to it that the kids will get the rest. Notice the sharp images from...

It’s St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah! The Owlets are getting so big, and they’re hungry all the time. Mom brought food at around 5:00 and the owlets got to eat their fill, but she’s been gone for a while now and we get to see the owlets show off their wings with all their growing feathers. When will they start exploring...

Today at about 4:45 am, a favorite hunting and feeding time for the owls, Mom jumps off the nest for 8 minutes and returns with a nice rat. The two owlets are hungry all the time, and the big one tries to swallow the rat whole, but Mom intervenes. These birds are growing fast!!  

About 6:00 on March 7th Mom heard Dad approaching and hopped off the nest for exactly one minute. She apparently rendezvoused with Dad and picked up a fresh meal for the owlets. The two owlets, now 8 and 11 days old, made short work of the meal. The larger seemed to get the lion’s share, but Mom made sure that...

Mom’s carefully passing pieces of food to one of the Owlets, who promptly drops it. She picks it up and offers it again and finally the owlet swallows it.           Note there’s plenty of prey in the nest, but it’s been going fast. Mom needs plenty of food to keep the owlets warm, and they are...

Mom took a quick break at around 6:00 this morning, giving us a great view of the two owlets. They are doing the usual slow motion wrestling match, and staying close to each other for warmth. Dad’s been bringing prey to neighboring trees so that Mom can retrieve it without being gone too long. The owlets were just over an...

Well, it was a long wait for the new owlet to have its first meal since hatching! The hatch was sometime very early on Sunday morning, but Mom kept the new owlet and its sibling covered and warm through the night and then didn’t have any prey in the nest during the day.         Finally about two hours...

You should notice that the camera menu above the main video window has changed. There are now entries for the view from Cams 1 & 2, DVR’s for Cams 1 & 2 and Time-Lapse Videos for Cams 1 & 2. Please let us know if there are any problems with this new capability!   Cam1 Cam2 Cam1 DVR Cam2 DVR Cam1 TL Cam2 TL...

This little ball of fluff showed up this morning, but we don’t really know yet when it actually hatched. Maybe some of the archived video will tell us! You can look back up to four hours at this test page.

In this short video, we get a good look at Mom taking a food break about 2:30 am on Wednesday February 24, a day we hope will come to be known as HatchDay for owlet number one. We don’t see the pip in this video, but saw it clearly in still shots later in the morning, about 5:30. In this video,...
