Bird Watching on TV ~ Watch Snowy Owl Family in the News What a Hoot!

Everybody really loves Raymond, but today we're looking up at a bird house. Just had to share this MSNBC story about an owl family that is on Television with their own show. Maybe they rival Raymond? What do you think? They are both "Family" rated.

Millions of viewers have tuned in to watch an owl couple settle in to a birdhouse that has been wired with cameras. From the comfort of our homes we can watch their lives play out as they nest, mate, lay eggs, brood and tender them until they fly off on their own.

A new episode may be in the hatching come springtime and they return. At the present time they flew the coop. To see a news clip from previous episodes take a look at this UStream.
