The Bear loves her some owls. Her favorite book is “Owl Moon.” She draws owls all the damn time. She HOOTS like an owl.
Last year we discovered the owl cam, and watched baby owls from egg to send-off.
The owl cam is a voyeuristic exercise. Every year an owl couple nests in a box about 200 feet up on the side of a smokestack in Boulder, Colorado. They usually have at least two eggs. It appears that there are two eggs this year, as well.
Come watch baby owls with us!
Neat pics and a neat website! Thanks.

If you still can’t satisfy your voyeuristic needs, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has streaming (and occasionally screaming) owl videos. You can also catch other types of birds too.

Watch this space!
(FalconCam is down right now, but two peregrines annually nest in the middle of downtown Columbus, Ohio.)

That is a neat website. I will have to tune in. I am glad that Bear gets to keep a watch on the possible new babies.

That is fun. We used to watch the panda cam on the Zoo Atlanta website.

For a number of years, KCC had a Falcon cam. The city imported some Peregrine Falcons to control pigeons in the downtown area. They set up a nest and everyone watched the Falcons and their young ones.
Don’t know if it still exists. The Falcons expanded their hunting area into the suburbs. A couple used to live in a 9-story building where I used to work.

Oh, my husband will love this. The park across from us was briefly visited by a pair of Great Horned Owls and he was enthralled. Thanks.

our resident rehab centre owl has just had her second lot of chicks, who have now left home. Watching them from babies thru fledging (in the flesh, too!) was so awesome…..
Owls are somehow just so special

Cranky…tell the “Bear” we have had a Snowy Owl sitting on our roof since six o’clock this evening…it is now 9 o’clock …actually a very pleasant sound to doze off to…I believe an owl calling around a home was considered a sign of “bad” luck in the dim dark past!!! Wish us luck!
