Wild Birds Unlimited Barred Owl Cam

Updated: April 22, 2025

The 2025 Season is Underway
The Barred Owl nesting season is underway—both eggs have successfully hatched, and two fluffy owlets are now calling the nest box home! The female will remain in the nest while the male provides food for the growing family.

Vote to Name the Owlets!
The owlets are ready for their official names—and we need your help! Go here to cast your vote before midnight (nest time) on Tuesday, April 29. Winning names will be announced on Wednesday, April 30. Two lucky voters will be randomly selected to win a $50 Wild Birds Unlimited gift certificate.
