Thought you might like to see this. It's in San Marcos, California (San Diego County).

Thanks Kaper, I love this owl! Sure hope the babies all survive.

Wow that is great! Thanks KaperC!!!

Unlike a lot of web cams, this one has sound, so it's interesting to watch/listen to her moving around, scraping bones, etc. Can't wait to see the male.

I have been watching Molly for a few days now....I haven't seen her mate yet either.

Some of the videos show him - the end of the one labeled something like "Molly upset with McGee" has them mating.

I was watching her last night and she was sleeping quite soundly. Really enjoying this!

She is checking out the rat McGee brought her. Wow seeing her eat...very cool! I have seen her up and awake , fluffing the nest and rolling the eggs a lot over the past week.

She is a gorgeous girl!!

Supposedly, pipping sounds have been heard recently. The web cam owner does a narration and answers questions daily - today at 12 noon. He has also done online programs for at least one of the local schools and one of the chicks will be named for the school. Bet the kids will love that!

Have seen at lleast 1 chick and now looks like another egg is empth when she stood up a moment ago! How fun is this!?!

Two chicks(Max and Pattison) and another expected soon.

I stayed up so I could see McGee come last night....that is so sweet! They are predicting the 3rd egg should hatch sometime today if it follows the every 2 days pattern.

Yes, I've got the sound turned up on my pc so I can hear what's going on. I suspect Carlos will pop in and say something if there's any action.

I've been watching Molly w/my 4th graders since Monday. We even saw Molly cough up a pellet. The kids have been totally engaged each day. I didn't turn it on today (Thur.) because we have to get something done!

Molly cares for the babes quite differently than song bird parents. She coaxes them to the food and she hands the meat over to them. Love it!

We seem to have two threads going about Molly. If you want to watch her without the chatting people try this http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Owl_Nest_Box_Ca... or look further down the forum until you find Owl Web Cam.
