The Owl Box
Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2010 8:45 pm
Anyone else watching the mama owl, Molly, and her eggs? Or is this just a local thing here in CA? Here's the link for all you critter lovers: http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox.
Our family is tuned most of the day. Today, I had the video open in another window with sound on while I worked and all the bird chirps added a nice backdrop to my routine. The guy who set up the webcam comes on periodically and talks about what he's learned about barn owls since putting the box up and streaming the video to the world. It's neat. My daughter loves it (so do I). Today my 3-year-old said, "I want my owl back" after I switched back to boring old writing stuff. So far, one owlet hatched yesterday. Four more eggs to go.
