Why don't you just move the computer from the inactive site (Eastern Bluebird) to this site so that we can see these cuties raise their brood? We're getting the idea that no one wants to visit Italy, Texas

Although the camera has been off line for a month, I would think that more details of the progress of the fledglings would still be possible. Other than a short comment at the top of the page saying they are progressing well, there has not been any details by day or week since July 12. We are missing much of this second nest experience. There has been no word about any fledglings from the first nest returning to spend time in the nest as is the case with the Barn Owl fledglings from the other nest site either.

I was so excited to see a new clutch of eggs! But, for the past two days I can't get a picture, I only get the little Red "x" up in the corner. Are the phone lines down? What's happening? I'm having withdrawels!

Today I see six eggs! It's 6:40am 6/23.

Looks like five eggs now!

It's looking like old times again. The female is sitting on her growing clutch, dead rodents are appearing, then disappearing, over the course of several frames and no other owls are visible (though the male must be dropping in now and then with food and copulatory intent). This pair seems very serious about getting the job done!

Thanks for adjusting the camera. Look forward to watching the second brood.

Are the birds born & raised in the nest boxes banded before fledging? Does anyone keep track of them, or is this even possible?

With the second clutch underway, I'm wondering about the status of our first group. Apparently they've fledged. Will mom and dad continue to show any interest in them, or are they on their own? (I find this hard to believe unless we consider mid-June to be "mid to late summer.") Will they be allowed to return to the nest box during the day? If so, would they be of any use to mom while she sits? (Even if they're not efficient hunters, they might be able to assist in cleaning the nest.) I say this because it wouldn't seem advantageous to start round two unless the first group was either independent or helpful to the breeding effort in some way. (I'm also assuming that this is the same set of parents as beforeā¦)

I was surprised to read/see that they were starting another nest. Frankly, I thought they'd be exhausted feeding all those little owlets. I am thoroughly enjoying Nest Box Cams.

Obviously, I missed the baby owlets fledging. But,I was surprised that you didn't document it. I can find nowhere that they actually left the nest so that the parents would be able to start a second nesting attempt.

It's hard to be sure - what with the camera in a crazy, owl-like position - but the 3:44:32 PM shot on 6.12.05 appears to have an egg at the top of the photo (that is, on the floor of the box). If so, attempt number two must be off and laying.
