Film | Tawny owl's whistle as she lays 1st egg of season | Luna & Bomber

Luna the tawny owl has laid her first egg of the season! Listen for the 'whistle' sound she makes as she lays.

This tawny owl has a history of egg failure and is known for raising foster chicks, but last year she raised two chicks of her own and now here she is again beginning a new clutch. Tawny owls normally lay clutches of two to three eggs, although last year Luna laid four of which two successfully hatched. These owls normally lay in early spring, so Luna's timing is appropriate.
