dupre501:
Some screen captures from yesterday.
The first is a chick pile, and the second is one of the adults has just arrived to feed them. They have done a lot of growing.

I have been watching this multi-cam site for quite some time.
These little screech owls are so cute and a hoot ( ;D) to watch!

Here are the three of them

There are currently chicks at this location. There had been four, but on June 7th one of the chicks died.

Interesting video on June 7th, where the mother removes the dead chick, putting it next to the exit. When the father comes with prey, as he is about to leave he notices the dead chick and returns it to the mother. This was then repeated with the mother removing the chick and putting it next to the exit and the father, after delivering a meal goes to exit, backs back into the box and returns the dead chick to the mother. The third time the mother moves the chick to the back of the box.
Okay, the link does not take you to the video, it takes you to the website. Look for the June 7 video "Een kuuk dood" (A chick death).
You may not want to watch the June 8 video "Toch nog nut" (Still useful) as the dead chick becomes food for its siblings.

There is a new nest box at this location and a pair of little owls are defending the site.
If you check out the video on April 5 it shows one of the owls chasing off a kestral.
