The Owl Box (Live Stream)
I’ve been very addicted to watching this live feed of a female barn owl named Molly, located in San Marcos, CA. Currently, Molly has three babies and one egg about to hatch any day.   There’s apparently a male named McGee that shows up sometimes as well, but I’ve yet to see him.
