owl eggs are usually white and almost spherical, and range in number from a few to a dozen, depending on species. eggs are laid at intervals of 1 to 3 days and do not hatch at the same time. this accounts for the wide variation in the size of sibling nestlings. owls do not construct nests, but rather look for a sheltered nesting site or an abandoned nest in trees, underground burrows, or in buildings, barns and caves.
