Following an Orphaned Barred Owl In April a nestling Barred Owl that had fallen out of its nest at the Nature Museum in Freedom Park

Dispersal of Young Barred Owls.
In 2002 we began following young dispersing from their nest areas. Young are fed by their parents for a month or two after they leave the nest, but eventually their allowance is cut off and they have to go make a living on their own. Further movements (Sept. and beyond) are plotted on a different map.

NOTES:
Princeton- Some time in late July the radio-tagged youngster from this nest dropped off our radar screens. We found him on 1 August '02 abpit 2 km from his nest near the intersection of Sharon and Runnymede. After spending almost 4 weeks in this area, on Aug 27 he moved to Sharon Amity and Providence.
(see the next moves)

Colville- In the second half of August, the radio-tagged Colville youngster moved about 2km southwest and has settled in for a while.
