I've been watching that owlcam off and on today. Momma hasn't gone anywhere, but of course she's nocturnal. I wonder what the gestation period is and also wonder if the camera light at night throws off her sleep pattern.

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.

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.
