Estimate February 28th for the first egg to hatch or when mother nature says so.
Hermione is darker, more spots around the face and is a bit shorter. She is most recognizable by the continuous squawking noise, I want to say she is calling for Dobby but not sure about that.
Dobby has is lighter all around and has skinner legs. He is pretty quiet unless he is first in the box and then his screams will overwhelm the microphone. Last year they had 8 eggs, 6 hatched and 3 fledged.
When Dobby lands on the camera it shakes the view of the door.
General Remarks and Notes:
* Box about 16' off the ground
* Box is 2' x 2' x 2', homemade, mounted November 2022
* 6" mouse hold with ladder board 10" above the floor and outside
* Use a Hikvision 8 mp camera
* Walls are compressed bark and produced for reptile enclosures
* Last year the bedding was ground wood from an Ash tree and this year I used rabbit bedding from a feed store which is too light. Next year I will bark, but looking for suggestions. She does not like even small objects in the box and breaks everything up for the owlets.
* Diet appears to be mainly gophers with a few rats and an occasional mouse or rabbit
*Nest discovered November 26, 2023
*Pair started Mating on December 1, 2023
* Alpine Barn Owl Boxes are located in Alpine, CA - 25 miles east of San Diego, close to the border with Mexico
Hermione and Dobby have friends in the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Argentina, Seattle, Orange County, CA, Texas and more.
