WE HAVE EGG!

In this nestbox in Italy, Texas, the mama Barn Owl has laid her first egg of the 2008 nesting season! In between egg laying, she is also on rodent patrol. ;)

MAY I HELP YOU?

Frida & Diego are a pair of Barn Owls that have a cozy little nest box in Benicia, California. This nestbox has apparently been used for about a decade, but it wasn't until 2004 that their activities were monitored. The box is used for nesting, as well as roosting between nesting cycles. Check out their digs at this link.

I have no clue if this is Frida or Diego, but both of them are in the nest box (see the little face in the background?)

THEY'RE BACK!

It may only be February and most of us hardly consider it spring, yet in Bornheim, Germany, the White Storks are back from their southern journey. I imagine it is good to come back early to claim prime nesting spots, no matter how lousy the weather.
