Synopsis

When a wild barn owl and her mate decided to nest in a suburban neighborhood, the remarkable tale of Molly and McGee began. The owls' home, a wooden box with a camera inside, put up by Carlos and Donna Royal in their Southern California backyard, became the setting for a real-life story of love, danger, mystery and, ultimately, the triumph of a family. Through the little camera peeking in on their home, Molly and McGee captivated more than twenty million people in forty-five countries, who shared their saga by watching them live on the Internet as they raised their owlets.

About the Author:

Carlos Royal, a retired real estate professional and avid recreational photographer, lives in San Marcos, California, with his wife, Donna. They have transformed their suburban backyard into an Eco-friendly acre of trees and other plants that attract winged visitors (barn owls, kestrels, bluebirds, hummingbirds, phoebes, wild ducks, killdeer, and mockingbirds have all raised their young in this habitat). They continue to share their love for and awareness of barn owls by keeping their webcams up and running as much as possible, and updating their blog at www.mollysbox.wordpress.com. The photos in this book can be purchased as prints and as various collectibles at www.cafepress.com/mollytheowl.

From the Inside Flap:

...Relying on his ears, intuition, timing, and a bit of luck, Carlos learned to anticipate the owls' flights in the pitch black night, brilliantly documenting - with more than ten thousand stunning photographs - the life and times of this famous barn owl family.
