Annie… Due to technical difficulties, this channel has moved to: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/austin-screech-owls

Please go to the new channel to watch Hoot 'n Annie. Eggs should begin hatching the week of 4/17/11, just in time for Earth Day!

Annie has laid 4 eggs -- on 3/21, 3/24, 3/26 and 3/28. If all goes well, the eggs will start hatching around 4/20.

In 2010, this mating pair of Eastern screech owls (Hoot and Annie) had 5 babies -- all caught on cam. To watch the 2010 activity outside of the box, including the owlets leaving the box, go to the outside cam: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Screech-Owl-Outside-Box

This box is in a suburban backyard in Austin, Texas. It was installed in 2007, and has had successful families since 2008. The cam was installed in 2009. To watch the successful owl family from 2009, see the 4-minute video on YouTube (including the traumatic first flight):

[Note: The camera is infrared in order to capture the images in the dark box, which is why the video is not in color.]
