Barred Owl Cam is back for the 2025 Season!
The Barred Owl nesting season is officially underway! The first recorded visit to the nest box occurred on February 4, and activity has steadily increased since then. The first egg of the season was laid on March 5 and the second on March 8. Barred Owls typically lay one egg every 2–3 days until the clutch is complete, with a typical total of 2–3 eggs per season. Keep an eye out as the male will provide food for the female while she remains in the nest. Stay tuned to witness these exciting food deliveries and follow the Barred Owl family through incubation, the hatching of the eggs, and the heartwarming moments as the young owlets grow.
