Barn Owl Nest at Goose Pond

A Window into the Barn Owl's Nest

This camera looks directly inside a nest box erected for barn owls at Goose Pond. Viewers can watch the full breeding cycle unfold — from a clutch of white eggs to growing owlets — within the sheltered wooden cavity.

The Barn Owl (Tyto alba)

The barn owl is one of the world's most widespread land birds, instantly recognized by its heart-shaped facial disc and pale, ghostly plumage. A silent, efficient hunter, it relies on exceptional hearing to locate prey across open grassland.

Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area

Spanning thousands of acres of restored wetland and prairie in Greene County, Goose Pond is a renowned haven for migratory birds and nesting raptors. The mosaic of marshes and grasslands makes it ideal hunting habitat for owls.

Conservation in Action

The feed is supported by the Friends of Goose Pond, whose nest-box program helps sustain local barn owl populations. The camera turns quiet observation into a tool for education and wildlife stewardship.
