Midnight, Star and Moon Peek out of the nest box
WBU Owl Cam!
Good luck to Midnight, Star and Moon!
Midnight, Star and Moon have fledged from their nest, which officially brings the 2024 Owl Cam season to an end. Thank you so much to those who tuned in to watch the Barred Owl family with us this year. A big congratulations to Mama and Papa who have done such a wonderful job raising their three owlets. We hope you enjoyed this year’s Owl Cam season and look forward to watching it with you again next year!
Jim Carpenter, Founder and CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited has had an owl box in his backyard since 1998. Owls have nested in his owl box almost every year for the past 16 years. Learn more about the history of the WBU Owl box here.
