Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area Nest Cam

This nest box is outside the Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area Visitor's Center. Barn owls are an endangered species in Indiana due to grassland habitat loss. In Indiana and many other Midwestern states, this once-common, rural inhabitant species is now rare, and it is considered endangered by many state wildlife agencies. Fewer than 50 nests are found annually in Indiana. To provide barn owls with secure nesting sites that are protected from predators, the DNR has built more than 400 nest boxes and erected them in barns and other structures with suitable habitat during the past 30 years. This barn owl box was built by volunteers at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area and was funded by The Friends of Goose Pond. It was installed in spring of 2022 along with a nest camera.
