Dale's third egg being laid

Roy and Dale have five eggs....

The owner of the Roy and Dale cam - Owlcamguy - always picks a theme for naming the new clutch. Last clutch was the Heroes so all the owlets had hero's names, The clutch before that were the Outlaws.
The theme for this new clutch is "Songbirds" named after a very sweet chatter that loved watching Roy and Dale. Songbird passed away and to honor her the new clutch will be named for her.

First egg hatch watch starts March 7!

Interesting article on owl spots.

It's been a quiet morning for Dale, at least while I have been watching. She has been rearranging feathers and not much else. From posts elsewhere it is reported that "Wrangler Roy picks up the pace with 2 gophers, 1 headless, 1 slider and 1 mouse delivered overnight to Dale."

Roy came home later than usual last night because it was raining. He finally showed up with a nice mouse for Dale, did IT and as usual immediately after doing the "dance" he goes to the porch to take in some fresh night air.

Still no sign of a pip tonight. Roy brought Dale a slider mouse and did the dance with her. He immediately went out on the porch to get some fresh air - as usual.
Dale is doing non stop chittering for him to come back inside but I think he's asleep.

For those new to the Roy and Dale site, here is a little bit of history and what the box looks like from outside.

OwlwitnessNews reports -Three mice and a gopher were Roy's nightly catch while the Parlor Peeps wait eagerly for first egg to hatch.

No confirmation of a pip this morning but Dale decided to hide her eggs with her gopher to throw us off. She wants to surprise us.

Here's Emmie's video. Meet Skylark.

Pop I love the videos you've added above. Lano will really like the one showing the actual egg being laid.

Another cute video from Emmie.
Happy Birthday Skylark

Somehow Skylark got flung out of the nest. I haven't heard the story of how it happened yet but here is a video of Dale rolling her back in.

OwlCamGuy made a sweet video of Skylark.
