Two nestling owlet siblings had their nest tree cut down. Their parents were able to fly off, but the homeowners were not aware that they had a Barred Owl family living in the dead tree the in their backyard. They called Alix as soon as they found the owlets on the ground.
Later that same night, a younger nestling owlet was found orphaned and all three owlets were kept overnight for observation.
Because the three owlets were were close in size, Alix decided to foster the singleton with the two siblings. Wayne Robertson, a professional tree climber, climbed a nearby oak the following evening. He installed a basket nest for the young to mature in. Both adult Barred Owls were present and vocal.
The homeowners followed up to say everything was fine and we are confident that all three owlets would fledge. Successful renest!
