Meet the Owlets, Moss & Maple!
Meet Moss & Maple, our newly-named owlets. Thanks to everyone who voted to name the owlets. Congrats to Linda from Wauwatosa, WI and Dianne from Cincinnati, OH, winners of $50 WBU gift cards.
Moss and Maple are growing fast and recently branched outside of the nest box. Our outside camera now features pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) capabilities, giving us the ability to follow the owlets as they explore beyond the box. We’ll be doing our best to keep eyes on them and share their journey for as long as we can!
