The eggs have hatched! I will keep you guys up to date on their growth. They are cool little things. Sorry about the quality of the pics but I've had to use my blackberry. New camera is on my wish list. I'll have one soon

Maybe you can keep and raise one to call for us in the morning. Nothing better than the real thing

but when I bang on the door she flies out and when I leave she flies in. Shes about a foot tall I guess and I'm still not positive what kind of owl it is. She sits in a tree until I try to take her pic and then she flies off I'm pretty excited to watch them grow up!

FYI

Q. If I handle a baby bird, its parents will pick up my scent and abandon it.
A. It's a myth that parent birds will abandon young that have been touched by humans—most birds have a poor sense of smell and are probably unable to detect the scent of humans on their eggs or nests.

This thread is awesome!!! If someone would just buy a camera. What made you think it's a barn owl I can't tell in the pics

if birds could smell, turkeys would be unkillable. I know its a barn owl because I looked up a picture and it is a carbon copy of the motherThis will be cool 2 months before they fly and they will get BIG!

Cause the nest is in a barn

at least clean the lens on your camera phone.
