I haven't been checking on the owls-- too hard to see at night. The video of the chick hatching is only a couple seconds long but cool.

Great view now of eagle nest and three chicks. All looking good.
I haven't been around much but just checked the eagles (Fri. eve.) and they still look good, all three chicks. I checked the barn owls and Mama is blocking the view again but I think it's possible that all 6 chicks have hatched.... didn't see any eggs when she moved a bit. I think it's time to look in on the red-tailed hawk nest.

There is no mama or papa owl in the nest at the moment.
Still one egg left and five little babies all fighting......sibling love

No eagle visible on nest right now but one must be guarding the nest out of sight since they seem to always have one protecting the eaglets from predators.
I think all six owlets have hatched now. Mama moved long enough for me to count 6 bodies and no eggs.

Mama owl appears to be having a feast at the moment and the babies look too big to be able to stay underneath her......little arms and legs everywhere
So cute

Right now it is kind of comical in the owls nest. Mama is trying to cover all the babies with her body, but they are so big, she can only squat over them and they are visible beneath her belly.
