📌 Kassikakk::Eagle Owl Estonia
The Eagle owl nest camera is situated in Northern Estonia. We’re following this nest with a camera for the first time. In 2021, this pair had no chicks, but they had been breeding successfully for several consecutive years before that. Usually the female lays 2-3, rarely 4 white eggs, in late March - early April and the chicks hatch in late April or early May.

In 2022 the Eagle owls don't nest in front of the camera. They only visited nest platform, but eggs were laid in other nest. No chicks hatched.
In 2023 camera was installed in January, nest was visited by adults like year before, but eggs laid in front of cam.
1st egg March 23, 2nd egg March 26 and 3rd egg March 30
Chicks hatched
1st chick April .., 2nd chick April ... and 3rd chick May ..
None of the owlets survived!
