Thank You for Watching the Owl Cam!
The Wild Birds Unlimited Owl Cam has officially closed for the season, and what a season it’s been! Our beloved barred owlets, Moss and Maple, gave us a front-row seat to their incredible journey from hatching and branching to exploring the world beyond the nest box. Thanks to new camera views this year, we were lucky to spend a little extra tine with them as they ventured out and became more independent. We hope you enjoyed following their story as much as we did. Thank you for tuning in, sharing your excitement, and celebrating nature with us. We can’t wait to see what next season brings!
