Enjoy monitoring the nesting activities of Barred Owls at the Wild Birds Unlimited Owl Cam through the spring season.

They’re back! The infamous pair of Barred Owls is back nesting in their big nest box in Indiana, and you can monitor their progress as often as you wish through the spring on the Wild Birds Unlimited live cam. The female began incubating after laying her first egg March 9th, followed by the second egg last Wednesday, and the third last Saturday the 14th. You can see the female incubating inside, and there’s even a second camera that permits you to view the occasional action outside the extra-large nest box too.

Although the incubation period may not always be action-packed, it’s great fun to wait for moments of interaction between the owls. As we let the live cam run a while yesterday, the pair began calling and answering one another, which is always exciting. Although the male was out of sight, the incubating female rose up to “duet” for a few moments – sharing another wonderful sound of the wild.

Through the dedication of Jim Carpenter, Founder & CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited, the WBU Barred Owl Cam has introduced generations of people to Barred Owls in his wooded backyard over almost 20 years. You too can watch the entire nesting process as it happens at https://www.wbu.com/owl-cam/

You can check back anytime to watch the progress of the Barred Owl pair, and in the meantime, you can also watch a wonderful compilation of video events from last year’s successful nesting attempt that fledged two cute young Barred Owls at https://www.wbu.com/owl-cam-highlights/
