Dear Habitat Stewards,
Please see the announcement from our partner Kelly Heffernan, Director South Florida Audubon Society’s Project Perch:
To the friends of the Burrowing owls:
Some of you may know that I have been working with the Broward County Schools and James Currie of Birding Adventures to have an EarthCam installed so we could watch the Burrowing owls. The EarthCam and Birding Adventures 24/7 video feed is live and you can access it at http://www.owlslive.com and the owls have their own Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/burrowingowlcam .
Will you be the first one to see owlets emerge from the burrow? Peek in on the daily life of a Burrowing owl colony living at a school. While the children are away, watch the owls play! Catch them bringing back breakfast or dinner from the school’s edible garden or see them napping and hanging out during the busy school day.
This amazing partnership between EarthCam, Birding Adventures, SFAS, NatureScape Broward and the Broward County Schools allows the students to put the spotlight on their Burrowing Owls, a threatened species. They hope to raise awareness and increase protection efforts for Burrowing owls everywhere and want children everywhere to be able to watch them, like they can.
You are all invited to start watching with us. So please join us!
