WATCH: Bird cam reveals recently hatched owlets in Barred owl nest

We got a rare look inside a nest as part of a partnership between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Bird Cams Project and Wild Birds Unlimited.

ST. LOUIS — A Moment of the Day for all nature lovers, from me to you. It’s a rare look inside a Barred owl nest where owlets have recently hatched.

You can see it for yourself on a livestream here and watch them grow.

A camera mounted inside the nest shows the mother owl leaving for a moment, revealing two snowy-white owlets and an unhatched egg! This is an amazing close-up look of a nest that we just never get to see.

The nest camera is a partnership between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Bird Cams Project and Wild Birds Unlimited.

It’s located in a backyard in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Cornell Lab has many other bird cams up and running, including a red-tailed hawk sitting on a nest of four eggs.
