Ellis Bird Farm Owl Cam 2024 Now known as Ellis Nature Center

1st Egg laid on April 1st, April 25th this egg was nonviable.
2nd Egg laid April 4th hatch sometime after May 6th HATCH: 05:05:2024 Confirmed
3rd Egg laid April 7th hatch sometime after May 9th: HATCH: 09:05:2024 Confirmed
NOTE: At 2 am on Thursday, April 25th, Ellie got up to leave the nest, an egg stuck to her feathers and as she leaped up to the back branch the egg plopped off to the ground. Likely, it is the first egg that froze. As nature does, nothing is wasted, it will feed those living under the nest, and even the shell will feed the soil. A highlight video has been uploaded showing this.
