I wanted to share this since it hasn't been shared yet. The littles and I have been checking in on her all day..and now hubby even has been checking in to see if there are any owlets yet. http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Owl_Nest_Box_Cam.html
Thanks for sharing, the kids were excited to check it out. Now its on our computer full time for the evening. This type of inter action with my kids is why I'm so ready to HS!! I hope it works out this fall.(Need to get DH on board.)
Thanks, crazymamma. We've added the owls to watch along with the hummingbirds we are already watching.
Oh cool.....I just realized the second link is for hummingbirds. I don't think it's the same one that we are watching.
I can't wait for daylight to hit the hummingbird nest.. last night a lizzard approached while an egg was hatching, mama flew away with the hatching egg, came back a few times to the other egg (there were 2), but then about 7:30 my time she left and hadn't come back at 9ish. I checked in on Molly the owl at 2am when I was sending hubby off to work.. seems that male owls are quite like human males.. he brought her dinner, expected something in return and then took off. He couldn't have had better timing.. even hubby got a laugh (that is how we started out ).
ok I tuned in just now and did not like what I think I was watching.. it was feeding time I saw one big owl and what may have been part of a baby one or some other animal being fed on. glad the kids didnt see that one! I love the cams but wow that was scarey! lol
LOL.. T-mom.. we just watched her eat the back half of a bunny.. as not nice as it is, it's nature and the kids definately understand that she needs to eat just like we do. I guess living on a beef farm makes the kids a bit more open to the fact of where our food comes from.
great site! turned it on just in time to catch the 4th graders asking questions. the kids and i are hooked
DARN!!! We came on, just to see it take the inners out of a mouse. I didn't think to turn up the volume to hear the "crunchings and munchings"!
wow big mouth eh? lol she pecked at it and crunched it both haha, whatever it was that was being consumed...
