Barred Owls 2015 — 2,483 Comments

1. About 10:47pm Luna flew out and returned 11:00pm. Could hear faint calling sounds outside, but didn’t hear Noche’s distinct hoot calls.

2. She’s listening for her Noche to visit and deliver.
   I hope to catch live action, been missing him the last two nights.

   He did visit at midnight, this morning and she flew out to follow him.
   Unsure if he’s on a changed schedule or my timing.

   I’m back! If he visits I will catch it.

   He had a fairly regular visiting schedule, if it’s changing it will be noted soon.

3. Same time frame, upper cam view.

   

4. She’s back from her outing, 8:07pm.

   

5. Wonderful!

   

6. Luna’s evening outing begins at 7:54pm

7. Luna in the sunshine.

   

8. Pretty Luna basks in sunshine, rolls her eggs. A fine day so far!

9. Luna leaves abt 12:12am and returns about 12:25am. Third egg looks behind the right egg…

   

10. Noche visits 12:07am didn’t see food drop or him entering. The nest box.

11. Wait, I see the time, don’t mind if I did miss her outing, it’s later than I thought.

12. Riding the highway watching one eye… Pretty Luna
    Hope I didn’t miss her outing!

    

13. Luna, head down, turned over her wings during a little preening time. Must have felt good.

    Looks like she’s gotten out a few more feathers.
    Currently, panting a little.

    

14. Stunning Owl, a fantastic morning, she’s listening to a squirrel chatter in the distance, but no worries.

    Nest box area, temps will be about 71° on an uncloudy day, winds
    picking up, Luna should have a very comfortable day.

    

15. Beautiful owl, preening.

    

16. I haven’t seen Noche all night, he arrived about 5 minutes ago n hooted repeatedly outside. Luna whistled to him but he didn’t enter or drop food that I am aware of. . I have been watching with one eye tonight, may have missed him, but only recently heard him.

17. A short outing, now she waits for her Noche to deliver.

18. Luna’s three eggs. She will be back soon…

    

19. She’s out at 7:41pm. Eggs look good!

20. Fantastic!

    

21. Gular fluttering is a term used to describe when she pants. She vibrates the muscles and bones in her throat.

22. Currently 50° heading for 67° in the area. Humidity is 97%.
    Luna is warm and panting to cool down.

    

23. This is one special family of owls. No new new there.

    Eggs update:

    Egg #1 is 20 days old.
    Egg #2 is 17 days old.
    Egg #3 is 14 days old.

    

24. Warm evening, Luna panted occasionally, especially after eating. Pretty feathers.

    

25. Frog is gone, slimy bits make her beak sticky. Is that Noche reflected in her eye?
