Reflections on the Granite Hills Owl project

It began with Connie’s visit to a North County San Diego website. She remarked about how interesting it was to be able to visit a Owl Box website. 

She said that some people became fascinated with Owl cams to the point that they spent hours every day checking out Owl activities.

Exactly what it was that seemed so mesmerizing about peering into the lives of birds was never stated, but the buzz of excitement was unmistakable.

Some months later her observation triggered an idea; if folks in North County had found a way to attract Owls and then and developed a way to observe Barn Owl behavior, maybe we could develop a version of our own.

These simple thoughts generated a wave of activity that has opened our eyes to a whole nocturnal raptor world, which has now lasted many months, and has given friends spread out literally from Hawaii to the East Coast the opportunity to share the lives of East County Barn Owls realtime .
