This series of videos features barred owl parents feeding nestlings in a nest box at the Ramah Creek Conservation Area in Mecklenburg County. The video was filmed as part of a research project conducted by UNCC graduate student Cori Cauble and UNCC professor and former Conservancy board president Rob Bierregaard to investigate the difference in diets between rural and suburban barred owls. Read more about the research and barred owls in general.
Our thanks to Rob and the property owners, the Bragg family, for sharing the videos with us!
