We don't have cameras in with all our birds. this is Bronte, one of our tawny owls. Her mate is named Dickens. They are found in Europe and Asia and have red, grey, and brown color morphs. They are related to the barred owl found in the US. This their first egg of the season, but they are experienced parents.
This tawny owl is named Bronte and she is 15 years old. We recently got some bad news. She quit using one leg and it turned out an ovarian tumor is pressing on the nerves that work her leg. Because of her age she is receiving "hospice" care to keep her comfortable until she dies. Needless to say this egg didn't hatch.
