Mom went out for a bite at 5:30 giving us a good look at the eggs. This little owlet has been working on breaking through it’s shell for some time now, but it looks like there’s a definite pip now. There’s still a LOT of work to do to break through the shell, and we won’t declare the chick hatched until...

At 5:14 PM on February 23 Mary Lambright was on camera duty and saw Mom leave the nest – she zoomed in on the eggs and thought she saw several places where the owlet had begun to crack the egg. Is one of these cracks completely broken through? “Pipping” is when the chick starts breaking through its shell using a hard...

  Mom’s waiting and so are we! When will our first owlet emerge from the egg? Head over to our education page and take a look at the data from last year, and then compare it with this year’s dates.

She takes off from there and lands in the nest actually being blown backwards to a landing. We’ve said this just...

The nest has piqued the owls’ interest for the last several months, but finally it’s looking like the female is very interested in seeing how the nest would work as a brood spot. She’s been paying a number of visits over the last few days and in each of the last few days has worked on the nest depression and...

At around 9:15 PM on January 5, a Great Horned Owl visited the nest and stayed about 30 minutes. We’re guessing it was a female (the female from last year??) and she seemed to be checking out the nest – rearranging nest material, shredding a pinecone (as she did last year) and generally making an indentation in the nest for...
