Estonian Tawny Owl Webcam

[ergee]

what is there going on, outside? People talking, man and woman, trying to call like an owl...mob. telefone? Calling Mini??
From bird Loodusclub??
Whistling and talking
camtime 23.50 now.
whistling like an owl is not so close anymore...leaving?

camtime 00.35
all is quiet. no Klaara or little ones. No people anymore.
No animals.

[katsik]

There is again some tourists who take pictures! ( I heard word 'kuva'-finnish word 'take picture') I hope Klaus kick their asses this time (sry), he is somewhere nearly.
I dont understand, how they know where is this owls tree???

edit: 00:08, there is still some strange voice, like ticking-car?

[Bosuil]

Well, I 'm happy the latest video clip of Tiny leaving the nest is on line - I just missed it by an hour and missed the last days here ... Thanks to everyone for the screenshots and the messages, so those of us not able to watch could read and see. Hope Klaara and Klaus & Co. will be safe and - deep breath - hope to meet here again in a year from now!

[macdoum]

This is just a consolation...maybe we will see this ? Hooter Owl sometime ?

last look back.



Thank you Looduskalander for the video of Tiny's last moments inside the nest.
Dunno, but I feel worse now.!

[ergee]

Good evening MacDoum..
in spite of your funny Hooter owls me too I'm not feeling
fine at all...
We can go to bed now early..but I don't appreciate that now!
Ok, good night to everyone!

I read that owl parents defend their children and when it is necessary they attack human beeings. they have claws like needles as you can see at the two owls sitting in the whole. I think it is more dangerous for people than for the chicks.

[mei2k]

Can't send myself to bed. Sitting and looking at the empty nest, waiting for something. I already miss them so much

[tamandua]

Yeah, Tawny owls may get very unhappy about people approaching their nesting site. And unlike many other species attacking intruders, the owls actually do strike with their talons. So I don't think that some tourists will do any harm to the owlets. Approaching the owlets too close would not be a very wise decision...They will not try it again after loosing (at least) some tufts of hair due to an angry Klaara .

I also miss them very much. in german we say jeder abschied ist ein bisschen wie sterben that means: each goodbye is a little bit like dying. when I have this sad feeling I look at the picture of the two owlets sitting in the entrance and waiting for an exciting life. that makes me happy and deeply grateful for the possibility to take part in a short time of their life.

Isn't it wonderful that we had the chance and the capacity to be touched by these beautiful little owls.

I felt rather the same way

I am rather late to think of this (it came to me in the night!)
but are there any members who would like to write a brief summary of the Tawny Owl webcam experience?
Maybe several members who could summarise a week each?

Date of first egg. Date of first hatch and subsequent chicks.
Type of food.
First time alone in the nest, and so on.
Any interesting things about Klaara, Klaus and members?

It may help present and new members next year if there is a comparison, to help us to know what to expect and what is different - if there will be an owl cam next year.
What do you think?

[Bellatrix]

These has been very interesting and educating weeks filled with joy and drama.
Dear little owlets, Live long and prosper!

And may the force be with you

[ergee]

Camtime 01.00. A bird is singing near Klaara's place. It could be a nightingale
singing the first year, it is not yet perfect but the bird is trying hard. maybe it is the Estonian language..
It is very moving...instead of Klaara and the branchers now a real singing bird...
Wish you all a good night!

Listing a bit longer I'm almost sure: it is a nightingale..

[Alfa]

Yes Ergee, it will surely Nightingales! Incredible, beautiful concert!
And here something for you

seems like some duck has spent a night in tawny's nest? it's hard to see her, i think those led's are not working anymore? Do we have now duck webcam?

edit: 8:16 she left

Wouldn't it be difficult for a duck to get up the hole? Nevertheless, it is interesting to watch who visits the nest now it has been deserted. Althought... the young owls may come back from time to time, to have a look or to spend days there... I must open the cam from time to time.
The leds, I think, work only during night now. During days they are off.

She must make sure there really is no chick inside

I am willing to make a summary of one week, but it will not be soon. And I am not a good writer, especially in English, so it will not be too epic
