Timea, I didn't get you.
I really don't understand where Klaara is. Maybe something happened to her?
Looks like it's impossible for Big to eat, and it's understandable. I hope something good happens by the time I get up...otherwise...
My love to everybody!
10:22 Big sounds really bad(((
11.20 local Estonia time - Ill try to follow while the main contributers are offline.
Big just started very hungry calls - 20-30 minutes ago Big tried to deal with the remains.
I follow intensively but leave reporting to Maggy and others - I share your grief and hope for a miracle for Big
Hello to all friends of this lovely owls.
I am watching Klaara and Klaus since 2010 on different homes of them and went through very sad times. I could not watch much the last days because there is a kitty rescue where a very sick kitty was put to sleep. This kitty was so near to me like especially one of an owlet years ago where I was crying for days after it died. So I see a cam which I left with three babies last week and now find only one of them left. We know it is nature and sometimes hard to understand, but things happen and since I watch a wildbird rescue I see how many owls come in - hit by car. Or they get sick with poisoned mice they ate. I wonder where Klaara is and also why Klaus does not deliver something to eat.
Please don't be mad at me that I wrote so much, but I felt like that with tears for this owlets.

Hi Bleggi, of course nobody will be mad at you. Everybody is sad. It started so promising. A clutch of 5 eggs, parents must have been very confident about the food supply. Later on Klaus came tumbling into the nest box -several times- as if being chased by something. It is a pity we don't have an outdoors camera here, but I have a feeling a larger Owl with their own family, took over their territorium, chasing our parents and taking all the mice they could catch, leaving nothing for our Owlets but a few birds.

Thank you Timea. When you look at my little picture you see an owlet sitting in a window. This is the nest from the outside. In the beginning of this little nesthouse we saw both when we watched the cam. We saw what we see now and the other half of the picture we saw how it looks from the outside. We could watch the owlets when they jumped high into the window and we saw it from outside at the same moment. I do not know why the cam changed. We would see a little bit more whats going on. More often they had four or five eggs and owlets hatched, but there were only one or two left to fledge. They got to eat moles and mice, seldom birds. So there will be other owls, maybe Great Horned Owls. Maybe a miracle is on its way - hope dies last.

or ornithologists know about this situation,why silent,help the little one?
Hi - we will have to watch this with all what nature brings. Only thing humans do - they care for the cam. But there never will be anyone doing more than that. When it is too hard to watch, then I will not do it any longer, because it hurts too much. This is what I learned for me for many years now.

I know Bleggi, I already watched here in 2009. But haven't watched for a few years. I don't mean a 2nd camera but a camera on which you really can see the surrounding: the tree where the nest is in and maybe even a bit of a wider view, so we could understand more of what is going on.
