    Couldn't see the chick, but Mama just stretched her legs, and there were four, no, five eggs visible. Maybe that extra little ball in the chick?

    Cool! There were 6 eggs to begin with, so if you only see five, the chick must be there somewhere. Right now, Mama is just lying there on top of everything. Visibility should be better in the morning.

    I thought one of the owls hatched also but it turned out to be a mouse and mama took it of camera and started eating it. I waiting for her to move so I can count the eggs. This is really cool.

    I was just observing the same thing. I wish she would move so we can see what is going on with the eggs. Many years ago, I observed 3 baby barn owls in an old rural water tower next to a Victorian farmhouse. The mom was gone at the time and they were moving their heads from side to side and hissing at me. So I left. I hope we will get that good a view of them at some point!

    OMG... I just looked, Mama had moved, and I could see the 5 unhatched eggs and one little tiny chick! Then she promptly moved back on top of them. My impression was that the chick was alive and healthy, a little white fuzzball. So keep checking and you might get lucky!

    Silly me, with my pred brain, I keep wanting to use the mouse pointer to move her over! As the chicks get bigger, they will be a lot harder for her to hide!

    ok someone needs to go in there and move that camera to the other side..whenever she moves she covers the camera up and u can't see anything. This is getting ridiculous I need to get a life and get away from this bird for awhile,and watch when I came back there while probably be 6 new babies!!!!

    The first egg hatched about 10:00PM, PDT, 3-27-12. She moved off the eggs at 10:15PM and I saw the chick moving. The left egg of the pair closest to the camera was number one.

    1:00PM 3-28-12...I "dug out" an old PC and have it on "owl Watch." She is moving around a lot and moved the empty shell around. Will she or the chicks eat any of the shell?

    1:25PM...She moved off the eggs... only one chick, five eggs.

    Can group members post updates like this so we will know what has happened while we are gone?

    Thank you Ann and the city of Haywood,
    Mr.g
