My lucky day!! I just thought I would see what's going on in this really cool barn owl nest, when what to my surprise... Daddy owl swoops in with a tasty rat, they dance, After the rat delivery.PNG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)and she stands there with her tasty rat and shows off her eggie.

Just last night I was thinking that after the Texas Barn Owls leave that we'd be out of owls to watch. I forgot about this little one!

At 5 and a half weeks old the owlet is now getting much bigger and will almost have a full sized skeleton. In the next week or so it will reach it's maximum weight and prey deliveries from the parents will begin to decline as the owlet will not have so much growing to do. In this video the female can be seen feeding the owlet who is almost the same height as her!
