Molly the Owl Becomes a Proud Mother Again



Molly the owl became an internet sensation when Carlos Royal, a retired real estate agent, set up an owl box with a camera inside streaming a live video feed to the internet.

Now the first owlets of the second clutch of eggs have hatched in front of many curious and delighted onlookers around the world.

The site has had 15 million views since going live in January – viewers are fascinated by the real-time activities of the barn owl.

After the first clutch of eggs hatched, Molly and her partner, McGee, flew from the box with their owlets. It caused a brief period of darkness in June until they returned in July and laid another set of eggs, according to Mr Royal.

Hopefully Molly and her family will return again so the ‘owl cam’ can continue to make inquisitive onlookers a little bit wiser with each frame.
