American Barn Owl Nest Box Cam
OnlineAn infrared nest-box camera peers inside a wooden owl box deep in the Everglades Agricultural Area, framing a resident American Barn Owl against a bed of soft wood shavings. Run as part of a University of Florida wildlife-ecology program, it offers an intimate window into a species rarely seen so closely, with the bird's heart-shaped facial disc and pale, dappled plumage filling the frame.

A Hidden Window into the Nest Box
This camera looks straight down into a purpose-built wooden owl box, one of many deployed across the agricultural landscape south of Lake Okeechobee. Its wide-angle view captures the entire floor of the cavity, where the resident owl perches, preens and tends its surroundings.
The American Barn Owl
The American Barn Owl (Tyto furcata) is a pale, ghostly raptor known for its heart-shaped face and silent flight. A formidable hunter of rodents, it makes the owl box its daytime roost and nesting site, an elusive presence that this lens reveals in remarkable detail.
Owls of the Everglades Agricultural Area
The Everglades Agricultural Area is a vast expanse of sugarcane and vegetable fields fringing the Everglades. Here, nest boxes provide natural rodent control while giving owls secure places to breed across an otherwise open, intensively farmed terrain.
Science and Conservation
Operated through a University of Florida wildlife-ecology project, the feed turns a research tool into public outreach, letting viewers follow the quiet daily life of a barn owl while supporting work on sustainable pest management and avian conservation.
