We saw this mentioned yesterday in Jon Carroll's column in the SF Chronicle. There's a webcam streaming video from an owl nest near San Diego.
It has been interesting to watch the interactions of the adult owls with the newborn owlets. The male owl only pops in to drop off a fresh kill, and the times for that seem to be dawn/dusk. The female owl broods all day.
Warning: small rodents are delivered by the male owl and ripped up for distribution. We saw half a cottontail rabbit (just the drumsticks),a mouse and a rat in the time we watched yesterday.
One egg is still unhatched and looking unlikely to do so.
The coloration on the adult's feathers is very pretty - gold, white, light brown.
cheers,
Michael
