Owls Around the World

[macdoum]

Credit where credit is due! I found it here.

Bosuil, You can speak Switzer-Dutch ?
They are so near here but I can't speak ONE WORD.. nor the local dialect here either.
But who then put the music to LLO leaving video ? There is no music on the video in Turmefalk forum?
Is there an english-spoken forum there ?
This is the second year I've watched their cam (not very often,this year,I'm afraid !)

Very interesting video for Owl lovers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapO1jnMLTo

No, I try to make do with what German I know ...

Shame on me! I mixed the two, just corrected it.

Turmefalk forum - Is there an english-spoken forum there ?

Not as far as I know.

Here is a link to some photos at least some of them must be of the site where the Little Owls we have been watching live. Their nest box is one of the boxes photographed and the weighing table looks like where they were banded. The last image is two cute little owls sitting in straw.

There are also some Owl skeletons -- with bands -- by way of warning.

Thank you. I only wish that the person who compiled those lovely pics put the name of each Owl on each pic ?
So,then we could identify more easily.
Yes I think they are cute
(I tried my own link just now and it DID NOT WORK.!! anyone else have same problem ?)
Goodnight all..

Well, with the "season" being a bit slower, we could try to find the names. Too late right now, but I'd want to know too! Tomorrow's another day.

14 are very cute!

I have an idea about what some of them are, and I bet we can come up with a good idea about who is who

And the link has worked for me each time I have tried -- but image hosting sites do go down occasionally -- often regionally when they are being worked on.

Where are the barn chicks? Where have they gone?

At Tirat Zvi I do not see them but I hear them.

The Last Barn Owl, lazing his day away:

[mei2k]

I got so used to them, that I even thought for a while that they wouldn't leave...

From the sound, there is still one owl,at least there but out of sight....as of now.
p.s Barn owl cam going well and they are still small.. (cornwall nest)

[alice44]

I think that the last time I looked there was not very much of a translation about the Little Owls but there is more now
http://www.genietvandelente.nl/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=497

There is interesting information about their size at banding and what the normal size is and things like that, and how many preys the parents brought in -- LOTS, and many of them were earth worms. The Little Owls really are little.

It turns out we were very lucky! Last year only one of the owlets survived. That would have been tough to watch.
