I know some are frustrated by the lack of action in April’s barn so I thought I’d share the Happy Hooters web cam. Our neighbor has a webcam placed in his owl box. [https://video.nest.com/live/dd4R1DFRqg](https://video.nest.com/live/dd4R1DFRqg) The adult barred owl has been standing in there with them for days but now there’s just no room. The little owlets are growing up. ---

This was not what I expected. ---

Those owls are totally flat. They’ll never fit in the uniform. ---

They look bored. I want to give them some Legos to play with or a book to read or something. Maybe Martin Waddell’s _Owl Babies_.

Wanted to give this a bump for the new week. There was a lot of activity in the box yesterday. The kids were brought (at least) a frog, a lizard, and a mouse. ---

The happy owlets enjoyed a couple of mice early last night. They were also presented with –what looked like- a salamander that they didn’t eat right-away. It laid on the floor for an unknown amount of time. Nights in the box have been exciting for them. They stare intently and wide-eyed at the opening. Sometimes when mom/dad drops by, you can hear the adult doing a coo-ing, almost purring sound. There may have been a party because something happened to the owl cam overnight. It appears some critter has re-positioned the camera; this morning we have a better field of view. I think you’re right **CalMeacham** , they seem pretty bored in there during the day. I’ve caught them stretched-out and sleeping a couple of times. ---

The little guys are snoozing now. They filled-up on rabbit for lunch. ---

I’ve never tuned in to find them having a meal, but I keep trying. They sure were cute when they were both laying down and napping. ---

The little guys are trying to fly out of the box this morning. ---

That is cool. How does one attract owls to a nesting box? That I would love to know.
