Blacklick Woods is well-known to birders for its resident barred owls. They can be seen throughout the year, usually roosting high up in beech trees on the west side of the Maple Loop. This species usually nests in tree cavities, such as those created by pileated woodpeckers, but will sometimes use abandoned stick nests built by other raptors, crows, or even squirrels. They typically lay their clutches of two or three eggs in early to mid-March, and the incubation period is about 30 days. That means the Blacklick owls’ eggs have likely already hatched. The owlets fledge after four or five weeks; look for them out of the nest starting in late May. In the summer, look for the adults hunting at Ashton Pond with their young nearby, even during the day.
