Owl Watching - Nature Meditation

16 minute HD Video - Owl Watching at its best.

Male Eastern Screech Owl Guarding the Nest Box

The male Screech Owl has a favorite position to guard the nest box with the mother and 3 owlets inside. Now that the owlets are getting bigger the female has been leaving the nest during the day to cool down and rest. The male will do most of the hunting during the night. Here we see just 16 minutes of his day long vigil - these small owls only expose themselves to such danger when they are nesting. The other 10 months of the year you would never see this guy.

Eastern Screech Owlets in Nest Box

Squirrel Who think its an owl

The 2013 Screech Owl season is progressing perfectly according to plan. The male spends his days hidden and resting and will do most of the hunting for food tonight. The female is now spending the day out of the nest because it is getting too crowded and hot with the three fast growing owlets. She is where she can see the nest box and come to the rescue of the owlets if need be. Two of the owlets are now perching and looking out on their new world. Fledging should begin early next week. Amazing and precious little creatures! There is also a weird young squirrel who has taken perhaps an unhealthy interest in the owl parents after discovering their roosts. It is impossible for the squirrels to get at the nest box otherwise they would ruin the nesting season The squirrel is fascinated by the roosting owls - more on that later.

Eastern Screech Owlet Perches and Looks out of the Nest Box

First appearance of the eldest owlet in the nest box perch!

Eldest Eastern Screech Owlet

Probably due to an abundance of high protein food such as lizards and bugs after a mild winter the owlets have grown incredibly fast in the past few days. Yesterday (April 30th) the eldest owlet made a first appearance at dusk in the nest box entrance. Our first view of those amazing eyes. In the video you will see the mother owl take off from the nest and the two eldest try to look out on the world beyond the box for the first time. The second eldest is not quite big enough to look out but you can see its head next to the eldest. It will be a rainy night tonight we'll see how the owls handle that.

Live tonight -- watch them grow before your eyes. Seem to be a few days ahead of fledging schedule - may be due to an abundance of high protein little lizards!!

Feeding action is getting intense in the early evening now that the 3 owlets are growing rapidly

The eldest Screech Owlet has grown amazingly fast in two days and is now perching beside its mother. The second eldest will likely be perching by tonight - April 30th. The youngest is kind of a goofball spending its time flapping its wings and kicked up wood chips all over its sibling. The broadcast is live every night and then an archive of the activity is posted automatically to YouTube a few hours later. Our goal is to have an extensive documentation of the owlets development. Enjoy!
