Detalles de la observación

As previously reported there seems now to be only 3 out of 4 owlets, however one of the young birds laid down and I was concerned that there were now only 2, so they can get pretty flat to the ledge and hidden behind the others, but they are getting to be pretty good sized now! Did not see an adult. Request that birdwatchers and photographers not pressure these birds in any way. Trying to observe or photograph these birds from under the bridge from the Oglethorpe County (south) side of the river, is not needed, would not be responsible, probably would be impossible anyway, or in the best interests of the owl family. Historically known Barn Owl roost site, nesting here not documented previously to my knowledge. Adult Barn Owl seen here in flight on 3/30 from ledge as during prior sightings. Female adult Barn Owl seen here on at least 4/8, 4/10, 4/17, 4/18, and 4/26 incubating eggs (at times thought expired). Owlets first discovered on 5/15. Handheld phonescoped video frame screen captures from the phone in the field.
