With nest season about seven weeks away, Mrs Barred Owl likes to keep an eye on her nest site. Making sure everything is ready for her big plans.

Barred Owls spend their days roosting. Often they will stay in a single location from dawn to dusk, unless disturbed. In this video you can see that the owl is only opening one eye. Maybe half it's brain is sleeping or trying to sleep. Google Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep.

Barred Owls use tree cavities for nesting. This owl is visiting it's cavity (aka nest box) prior to the start of the nesting season.

It's almost time for the Barred Owl Cam to go live! YIPPEE!!! This year Owl Guy made them a brand new "Ocobox" to live it. This should be a great year and I'm hoping for at least 2 little Boo's this time.

Here's the latest video from Paul Yorke.

OwlGuy has put in a lot of work to make the new "Octobox" for the Barred Owls. I think he even has installed a low noise exhaust fan of some sort for when the pesty gnats or mosquitoes show up. His plan was to use it to blow them right out the door. LOL! We'll see how that turns out Anyway, here's a link that shows all the steps and work for their new house. This guy is GREAT!

Nesting season just recently started. Pop is only now getting into his new duties as food provider for mom as she sits on the egg.
