Barred Owl Live Ohio

Barred Owl box created in early 2025, Westerville Ohio.  Featuring Hoolio the Barred Owl and previously Owlberta, who sadly passed away in early 2026.  Owlberta was the first owl to visit and roost in the box in winter 2025.  2025 dealt us a reminder of how cruel nature can be, when the first egg laid in the box was not viable.  Then even more sadness in 2026 when Owlberta passed away after she laid one final egg.  Hoping Hoolio finds a new partner, more eggs, and baby owls soon!!!

Update 4/18/26:  in the early morning hours we heard a lot of caterwauling and discovered what we hope to be a new mate for Hoolio.  Introducing Barredbara, the barred owl! 🎉🦉🤞
