[March 30, 2010] SAN MARCOS, Calif. (AP) -- A barn owl couple in California has given birth to a family and a fan club.

Two years ago, Carlos and Donna Royal made an owl box, put it on top of a 15-foot pole in their northern San Diego County back yard and hooked up a video camera. Barn owls Molly and McGee moved into the box in January and started a family. Since ustream.tv/theowlbox debuted, it's had more than 3 million hits. More than 17,000 people watched as the first owlet hatched on March 21. A fourth baby owl hatched Sunday, with one egg remaining. The Royals have named the babies Max, Pattison, Austin and Wesley. ___ On the Net: http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox ___ Information from: The San Diego Union-Tribune, |
