The second owlet gracefully landed in a nearby Azalea bush as she continued her descent from the owl box. She then displays excellent strength and perseverance as she climbs up the giant oak tree. You can hear the mother barred owl give out several warning calls to the young owlet. At one point, she swoops down and nearly knocks the owlet off the tree!

*******************************
Two Barred owls, affectionately named "Tootsie & Pops" have been in our backyard and neighborhood for the past few years. The nesting box was built 2022/2023 and hung on the tree. Unfortunately, it must not have been high enough as they did not seem interested and they roosted in a neighbor's yard. During the summer of 2023, while we had an arborist on site for various projects, we had him raise the box to it's new location. The owls have quickly taken residence since January 2024.
There is a nest box camera inside providing IR light; however, a squirrel must have chewed the wire because it cannot seem to broadcast any picture. A second camera has been mounted to a neighboring tree to provide the comings and goings throughout the night. Enjoy!
