2024/25 Season ended sadly with the death of both owlets. They jumped from the box prematurely. We suspect this exit was caused by an extremely bad case of feather mites.

2023/24 Both owls were here, but we suspect the young female was not ready to nest.

2022/23 Status Update: March 2nd , Lily is doing great, Dad (new male this season) is providing food, Mom is taking care of Lily. The unhatched egg is still unhatched and we suspect it will remain so.

OwlWatch Status (Facebook status page)

Barred Owls are large owls that go by many names. Swamp Owl, Hoot Owl, and Wood Owl just to name a few.

We are lucky enough to share our space with a pair of Barred Owls that have grown to tolerate us. They seem to feel secure nesting within 30 feet of our house. We try to respect them and don't have any pets or domestic animals to complicate their life.

Over the years you will see we have recorded their life in various ways including written logs, video and stills. We enjoy their calls and visits. This site is an attempt to share that joy.

We hope to expand this content as time goes on.
