I may take this embed out if it slows down the loading of this page. This is a live (usually) streaming feed from UStream of Molly the Owl, a wild owl inhabiting a barn in San Marcos, California. My friend Carolyn chanced upon this on the 'net and we've both been fascinated. Molly laid six eggs and every so often, if you watch long enough, you may get to see one hatch. You may also get to see a male owl come by for a visit. At the very least, you might get a glimpse of the only baby hatched so far. More hatching is, they say, imminent.
There are actually two cameras that track Molly. The one below usually captures her daytime activities and you can also see its feed at this link. At night, she can more often be viewed on the camera at this link. Whichever site doesn't have her may be running recorded video of interesting past moments.
UStream feeds offer a lot of nonsense but there's also a lot of must-see TV there. They do require some patience because feeds don't always work or they sometimes take forever to load. You may see nothing from either webcam or you may luck onto a show that you'll be hard-pressed to turn away from. Often though, it's worth being patient with the tech drawbacks. Molly certainly is…
