Our four baby great horned owlets have grown
up. Three of them have left their nesting area in the balcony
off the third floor of Science Building II and are well as
far as we know. Another one tried to fly but only made it
to the ground (no injury). Marlene Benton of
FACT
picked it up from the area between Dorothy Donahoe Hall and
the Science Building. Since this owlet is not fully grown
and therefore not ready to fly, it has been taken to the Facility
for Animal Care and Treatment (
FACT)
until it is ready. As you may know,
FACT
organizes a monthly Open House; the next one is scheduled
for Saturday, May 6. So please come out and meet our owlet.
Soon our owl cam will become our building cam. It will be pointed at the
area where we are building our new Math & Computer Science building so we
can all watch the progress as it goes up.
We promise tho that there will be an owl cam back up next year when Momma
Owl nests on our balcony again!
