Hello All, Here is some video footage I shot the morning of June 16th. It shows the 4 to 5 week old barred owl chick, having recently left the nest, regurgitating two pellets. This is the first of the three chicks to leave, and I discovered it perched on a fallen tree approx. 30 yards from the nest. I was fortunate to spend almost an hour with it - sitting only ten feet away. Pellets consist of the indigestible parts of an owl's diet and include such items as fur, feathers, bones, claws, teeth, and fish scales. On average, an owl casts one to two pellets each day, depending on its food consumption. I feel very fortunate to have witnessed this first hand, especially with such a young owl. Nature definitely holds so many surprises... (watch in 1080p HD for best quality) Cheers, Justin -
Hello All, Spent the afternoon with the barred owl family today. Definitely lucked out, as I was able to capture on film the female vocalize a number of times to her mate - who was roosting some 200 yards away. It was my hope to capture this on film so I am pretty excited! (watch in 1080p HD for best quality) Thanks for watching... Cheers, Justin

Hello All, Was fortunate this past week to find a nesting pair of barred owls. The last few days have been spent shooting photographs and video. I was fortunate, and very lucky, to have the camera running when the male owl regurgitated a pellet. I have never witnessed this in the wild so was definitely a very cool moment. My guess is the chicks will be hatching in 3 to 4 weeks - can't wait to document it all. (watch in 1080p HD for best quality) Cheers, Justin
