2013 Season - Owl Cam





Valmont Power Station, Boulder, CO

Our Owl Cam features a family of great horned owls that live in a nest box installed 260 feet up one of the stacks at Xcel Energy’s Valmont Station in Boulder, Colorado. Because of the nocturnal habits of owls, we use an infrared camera at this site that operates under low-light conditions and provides images in black and white. In addition to providing streaming video, photos for the day are saved in two-minute increments and are archived in the Daily Pix section. Local time, Mountain Standard Time (MST), is used for these images.

Mamma Owl is roosting this morning....

Good--I found this, Leslie. I was watching today and saw here there for awhile until it became dark. GHOs are new tome so I hope I can learn a little about them from this cam.

Glad you made it Paula...last year this pair had a failed clutch....two years ago they raised twins....I hope this year they will call this nest home and try to raise their family.....we all shall see soon I think.....Mama Owl roosted all day in the box...that is a good sign.

Mama is out on the balcony tonight....some snow in the box!
