LOCATION OF CURRENT ONLINE GUESTS AND RECENT
VIEWERS (red dots) - - WATCHING MEL & SYDNEY
Barn owls, Mel (the male) & Sydney (female), are located in Oceanside, California - San Diego County, USA
The Box-builder/owner is originally from Mel(bourne), Downunder (+proud U.S. citizen as well), hence the Aussie names chosen for the first clutch of owlets in 2011.
The relatively warm winter weather in San Diego County always seems to bring the owls into the box much earlier than elsewhere - looks like we're off to another great start with the clutches of 2012.
The box has been up since mid-November 2010 and owls moved in two weeks later! This box you now see is v2.1 which replaced the original v1.0 by Christmas after some quick learning and wonderous design ideas with advice from many helpful folks and we re-engineered all the objectives from scratch - see the slide show of construction pictures at melandsydney.blogspot.com/p/owlbox-construction.html
Check back often to see how Mel and Sydney learn to become parents all over again, CAMs will be broadcasting the action as often as possible.
The box is located about 16 feet above ground level. Dimensions - Length 30", Height 18", Width 16" (left-to-right dimension seen on interior camera), Porthole 6" diam. (and about 6" above box floor)
Sorry, no merchandise will be available about Mel & Sydney - my house, my yard, my box, but EVERYBODY'S owls. The gift we get is the privilege of watching these lovely creatures. If you'd like to benefit barn owls or wildlife in general, then make a donation to an organization in your area.
$*$*$*$*$*$ - Mel & Sydney video and audio streaming, internet and wi-fi services, materials, equipment, cameras, power, time, dedication, designs and innovations for the well-being of these wild and free barn owls are all donated solely by the OWNER for the viewing and learning enjoyment of all. Absolutely no payments are made to Ustream, nor is income, revenue, or compensation of any kind received from any organization or entity, advertising, sales, or any other source whatsoever in association with Mel & Sydney Barn Owls of Oceanside, CA.
