Three Juvenile Barred Owl's
"Barred Owls nest in tree cavities or old Hawk or Squirrel nests. The female will lay 2 - 4 eggs and sit on them for about a month while the male hunts. Once the eggs hatch the male will continue hunting, bringing food for the mother and her chicks. Young owls are ready to fly in about six weeks, but usually do not leave the parents for 6 months."
The information which is quoted up above was from the back of a water painting card we purchased of two baby barred owls painted by Sue Coleman. Entitled Evening Light.
