Two Eggs In the Screech Owl Nest Box - Live Broadcast Test

Test Video of Screech Owl Nest Box Showing Two Eggs Now

Conducted a live YouTube test broadcast from the nest box last night and it revealed two eggs as the mother left at dusk to hunt. However, last year her habit was to quickly return to the nest box within an hour and the male would deliver food. As the test broadcast illustrates she did not return to the eggs for at least two to three hours on a cool night. She was sitting hard on the eggs in the morning so perhaps chilling will not be a problem. She is after all an expert at this. We'll just have to wait and see if the male starts picking up his feeding activity as expected and the eggs remain viable. Perhaps food is a little scarcer this season. She should lay at least one more egg.
