Barn Owls - California / Audubon Starr Ranch

[cadria]

Thanks for that. I used to love watching the barn owls on the Dutch site Beleef de Lente but they were taken off the site when it was reorganized this year. The chicks were very ugly then very cute as their feathers grew in.

LOL  I know, they are very funny looking with their pointy faces.  They look like little aliens, but then their face changes and they become quite beautiful.

Ok, here is another one of my regulars!

It does take a bit to load, so be patient.  This one has sound as well.

You can also open it in Windows Media Player if you want to make it larger and to have it standing alone.

You can right click on the screen and you will see something with video size, you can bump it up to 200%.

Ooops..ok, I have the wrong addy down for WMP.  I went to edit it, but guess you can only edit a newer post.  My apologies for the wrong URL!

It should then open in Windows Media Player.  Apparently there are 2 eggs in there, so they will be on round 3!

Well, imagine that, you were at the Lady Grey Owl fundraiser breakfast too, cadria. We probably did pass one another. I went with my husband and we sat at a table with des and her family. We also bumped into Pam and her husband while there. Pam took some wonderful photos which she has posted on the Forum. Check out the "Breakfast with the Owls" thread on the "Upcoming Birding Events" board, cadria. Also, you could make a post about your book, "Wesley the Owl" on the "Other Raptor/Birding "Stuff" board on the "Bird Books Worth Reading" thread. Sounds like a very interesting book.

Oh my gosh!  I went to Breakfast With The Owls too!  I bet I passed you and never even knew it!  I have some great shots of the birds from there.  Yes, Luna, the Barn Owl was there.  Barn Owls are not found in MB, however. 

I recently read a wonderful memoir called "Wesley the Owl" and it was about a wildlife biologist and her barn owl that she raised (It was in the 70s - no way you could do that now).  It is humourous and a good read.  I highly recommend it!

That's pretty cute I've never seen a barn owl before...

I had never seen one before till I went to the "Lady Grey Owl" fundraiser, where they had lots of raptors on display from Wildlife Haven I think. Barn Owls are very beautiful birds, indeed.

Yesterday I was watching and the two of them were standing together, at the same time they tucked one leg up (not sure where this leg went) and they were both standing on one leg it looked pretty funny.  

Right now, both parents are standing on 1 leg, like storks do. I didn't know Barn Owls did that. On the other webcam, a donkey walked by, munching on carrots!

Thank you, I love watching owls.

Your welcome.   Usually I have so many cams to watch in the spring, my head is spinning.  The barn owls are pretty cool.
