Bird Cams Around the World

THX kittenface, and Beth. Here are some more barn owlet pics. First, the Swiss Pro-Riet owlies had laid 8 eggs. We have only seen 5 owlets. I was watching last week and lo and behold, I saw 6 owlets in the box! I emailed pro-riet in german, and they answered back that looking at my pic they are shocked! They only counted 5 also. 1 has been always hiding close behind another one LOL! They will be banding them on Sept 1st, so with the time difference, I would check Aug 31st, their day is our night, etc. You may get lucky and see the "hand" coming down from the roof grabbing an owlet out!


You can barely see head of sixth owlet in back


Here you can see all of them

Also, have been watching our NESTKAST Live from the Netherlands. They have 4 owlets that survived that clutch (at least 1 was lost at early stage). They are now fledging and can be seen on the roof of the box, which is in a hangar. I have only been able to get pics of 3. The baby originally wouldnt come out with the other 3, he was scared and stayed in main part of the box. I think the oldest may have fledged outside now, not sure, but baby came out into entranceway, and appears to be able to climb outside on ledge to be with the others. You can tell from his fluffy tummy he is the baby. The other 2 can fly to the camera LOL and land on it, then fly back to the box. They are adorable!


Aren't they too cute sitting up there?!

I've been watching on & off at both nests but always forget to post pictures I'm sure glad you got them LeeLee
YES THEY ARE JUST PRECIOUS

These are for our Owl Queen LeeLee
I had completely forgot how cute and funny these guys can be

Oh, kittenface! THANKK YOUUUUUUUU! Arent they just adorable? And wooppie - 6 healthy and beautiful barn owlets surviving! They will be banded (ringed) Sept 1, which could really be Aug 31st for us her in the states - will have to check around the clock so I can try to catch "The Hand" removing them through the roof!

Thanks for thinking of me, I love the videos, great job!!!!

I swear I thought I saw bands on them last night

kittenface I just checked and I dont see any bands. Maybe you can check with that zoomer thingie I think you have? lol

They are doing alot of wingersizing tonight, but I am too tired to take pictures right now. I just adore these little guys with all their fluffy tufts!

Pro-Riet Barn Owlets got their jewelry yesterday!

Hello!

Last week I got to attend a banding session for 3 barn owls. It was at a farm of a colleague near here and it was great to see! I also saw barn owls get banded there last year.

I took home with me 3 pellets and broke them open to see what I could find. That was also great!!

You can see pictures of the banding this year and last year, and the pellet pictures at our website:
