Eric's Owls

Located in a semi-rural north coastal region of San Diego County in California (PST), our Barn Own House will host the 4th family this season. It is our hope to share the opportunity to observe a pair of Barn Owls during the reproductive season (typically January to June) as they court, bond, lay eggs and raise their young to the time of fledging (usually 10-12 weeks after hatching). With the use of IR lighting, which is not visible to human or owl eyes, the Barn Owls can be observed 24 hours a day. Eggs are generally laid one every 2-3 days, for a total of 4-6 eggs. Incubation period is typically 31-32 days, with eggs hatching days apart consistent with when they were laid. Once eggs have been laid, the female will generally stay at the nest full time. The male will hunt Mice, Rats, and Rabbits to provide food for the female and babies. Barn Owls tend to be most active hunting after dusk and before dawn.
