The owl box is located in our backyard in San Marcos, CA. This is Molly’s second Clutch. Barn Owls are about 14 to 16 inches tall. Incubation takes 30 to 34 days. Owlets hatch in order laid.

The male has a white chest and face, while the female is more camouflaged and rufous in color with spots.. The male usually shows up after dark. We have named the female Molly and the male McGee. The Barn Owl is widespread and can be found in most parts of the world. They are mostly nocturnal and rarely observed in flight during daylight hours but light does not hurt or bother barn owls. They are often seen looking out during daylight hours on bright sunny days.

The owl house is located on a 15 foot pole and there is a mimosa tree just outside the opening but not once did the owls or the owlets land in the tree during the first clutch. They seem to prefer structures like tall poles, old buildings or fan palm trees. It took two years before the owls showed up after the owl box was installed.

No other birds have tried to nest in the box. We have a very eco-friendly backyard; we live on an acre lot with lots of trees and plants for wildlife. We have had kestrels, bluebirds, hummingbirds, phoebes, wild ducks, killdeer, and mockingbirds all nest and raise their young in our habitat. We do not have any cats or dogs to disturb the wildlife. We have identified 58 different birds in our backyard.
