Not only has this live camera feed provided a wonderful educational resource for science teachers across the country, but it has also shed light on some very interesting behaviors of these owls. The colony has grown supporting up to 3 pairs of owls, all breeding at once! The owls at the school are known to raise multiple broods a year.

So they are raising money to buy more. Do it for science! To that end they are attaching lightweight tracking devices to Snowy Owls so we can learn what individual owls are doing.

This bit of science is a nice final counterpoint to an account that has emphasized art, history, and literature. He effectively brings his point across by presenting facts and images and a little bit of hard science.
