Well, this is different...I don't think I have ever seen a barn owl not start incubating after an egg lay...maybe she's taking a lesson from the falcon. It would suit me just fine if she didn't start incubation until she had a few more to sit on...

Thanks KF...

There is currently a power outage at Starr Ranch..there was no egg #2 as of last night...and apparently there was a brief intruder issue at Mel and Syd's nest today..Both are fine and in the box tonight. I'm sure if its true, that there will be a post on the website tomorrow..He does a great job of staying current with what's going on!!!

Not sure if Owl Guy is checking the forum, but this feather situation is driving me crazy. Thought he may have some insight. Can't imagine a female would molt when she needs her strength for incubation and the babies to come.

Hayward Barn Owls cam is back :loveshow:

This season’s pair of Barn Owls began courting December 12, 2012. They have been visiting the box each night and now the female is interested in setting up house and staying for part of the day too. We expect her to begin laying her eggs about mid February. Once egg-laying begins, she will lay an egg every other day until her clutch is complete. During this time she will stay in the nest to incubate, turn, and protect her new eggs. Her mate will continue to visit during the night and bring her presents of food: rats, mice, voles, moles and gophers. Incubation times range between 26 and 33 days. Keep checking back to see how fast these babies can grow! You can view this cam 24 hours a day.
