Maybe it's a night-vision camera?
I’m watching now primarily to hear the frogs down at the pond. So relaxing.
No, there won’t be much activity until the eggs hatch. She leaves occasionally but only for a few minutes. Looking at the Twitter feed at the right of the video screen, I see the squirrels were messing with her again this afternoon. They pestered her a lot yesterday and I thought she was going to snag one for a snack. Lil critters were living dangerously. LOL!
Birds don’t see IR light so she isn’t bothered by it at all. But it sure enables us to see what’s going on during the night at the nest.
Owls are more active during the day than I thought they were. One of the surprises watching these owls last year.
Among the living today, but it has been a Mom issues day.
And my day started with a phone call from my credit union....suspicious charges. Yes they were...VISA card cancelled. Now lots of phone calls tomorrow for auto pay accounts. A day of rest would have been nice, but no such luck. Oh well...I can rest at work. LOL!!
Gad you’re no longer a zombie. Sounds like you were kicked pretty hard.
Bummer the day hasn’t gone smoothly though. Mom issues are more than enough as it is but having to deal with that credit card mess didn’t help matters.
Tomorrow may well feel like a vacation after all this. LOL!
Good evening, Luv...I don’t imagine he’s very happy. But, boy, was he determined escape wherever he was.
LOL! I can just imagine 2 little tuckered out folks.
The drier just quit on the last load of laundry...all my bed stuff, including blankie and quilt. Warm and fluffy and germ free.
Just fed Mom and I need to think about something more than crackers.
Oh, forgot in the other post .... the gestation period is 30 to 35 days. We should have lil owlets at the end of Feb.
The real fun begins when they’re a couple of weeks old. That’s when they get really active and their personalities start showing.
YAY for clean fluffy bed stuff.
Now something more substantial than crackers would be good if you’re ready. You need to get your strength back.
Mine?
Darn it. Got distracted.
It is interesting watching the owl tend to her nest.
So it's IR light...interesting.
LOL! I’m surprised she wasn’t. Guess she’s busy having a grand time playing games with her granddaughter.
I was flipping through other nest cams checking to see what’s going on and didn’t notice that 50 was up for grabs.
Since birds can’t see IR, folks who set up the cams for day AND night viewing know they can use it and not disturb the birds. One of the many things I’ve picked up from watching the cams Cornell is involved with. Their ornithology people post all kinds of neat info and it adds to the experience. It’s been a blast watching and learning the past few years.
He was very set on being free! Good for him!
"Do they taste like chicken?"
:-)
LOL! I did get busy. Hard to concentrate on Much of anything when there are two little girl giggling and squealing. :)
How long you staying in OK?
Two little girlies giggling and squealing are probably more distracting than our cat herd. LOL! Sounds like you’re having a great time with them.
Yup, wouldn't want to mess with Momma!
