This is my 8th season to have Jack & Carol nesting in my yard. I have moved the barrel three times. I have had 100% success. Jack is at least 15 years old. I discovered him many years ago nesting in my neighbors yards. Many of the nests failed from predators or strong winds. So I decided to put a barrel in a tree to see if they would nest. Originally I had it in a tree so high I couldn't monitor it well. I ended up with Barred Owls the first year. The following year Jack ran off the Barred Owls and he has had it ever since. Anyway. This is the first year for only one owlet. I named him Lil' Guy. He hatched on the 15th. Here's my live stream Nest Cam – Okie Bird Cam Share if you care I have great videos on youtube. My user name is Okiebirdnerd on Youtube and Okieowlnut on TikTok. Take a look, I give a hoot! Thanks
