This page contains some information and links to videos about the second clutch. If someone wants to create a timeline for the second clutch similar to the one done for the first clutch they are welcome to do so. However, since the time some of us have to contribute this time is less than the first time, this page will probably contain less detail than the timeline for the first clutch. For more of Carlos's recorded videos of Molly and family, go to these sites:

1/27/2011 - McGee Shows Up for a Photo Op
"McGee showed up last night to celebrate my birthday. Molly too, but she seems to be pre-occupied inside the box. McGee kept posing on the fledge ledge until I finally said, “Okay” and I went inside and got my camera. More than likely Molly has some eggs since all the other owl boxes in the area with tenants have eggs. We don’t know how many as the cameras are not hooked up. It will be a surprise when the owlets come out of the box".

1/25/2011 - World Owl Hall of Fame 2011 Winners:
Lady Gray'l Award - Barnaby the Barn Owl, England
Champion of Owls Award - Professor Dr. Claus König, Germany
Isn't is great that a Barn Owl won the Lady Gray'l Award? Both Carlos & Molly were nominated, but it is great to know there were many worthy people and owls to be considered
1/23/2011 - Visit with Coach (Julie) and Signing of Photo Books
Egg Count: It has been posted in the comments that there are now 25 eggs and counting. By the way did you see the commercial for the Winter X-Games (Shaun White and Gretchen Bleiler) where they used two barn owls (they called them snow owls).
The Barn Owl is definately the Bird Of The Year!

1/22/2011 - McGee Sighting
Just a quick note. We haven’t seen much of McGee but last night Donna walked outside and then called me. There was McGee sitting proud on the posing ledge. He sat there for a while as we watched, then he looked around and flew into the box. From what we could hear he had returned for a little anniversary celebration, it was exactly one year ago (January 21, 2010) that he and Molly showed up.

1/17/2011 - Molly Kicks Out Old Gagshag
http://mollysbox.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/500-books-signed/
"There are many that claim the owl box should be cleaned out between broods but as this photo taken this morning clearly demonstrates the owls are quite capable to do it themselves. By the way, this is the first photo I have taken since becoming ill three weeks ago; I just have not felt good. Hopefully, I am on my way to recovery. It felt wonderful to get some sunshine and fresh air this morning."
"Several have asked if Molly has any eggs since the owl box in Oceanside has two eggs. I don’t know, I don’t have any of the cameras are hooked up, but I don’t think so because Molly is standing up in the photo I took this morning and is more to the front of the box. By the way the owl box site in Oceanside is wonderful; it looks like they are taking the broadcast to the next level. Excellent owl box, excellent cameras, looks like HD and they seem to be wonderful people." This camera is also being broadcast at SPO -

1/14/2011 - The first copy of Molly and McGee, The World’s Most Famous Barn Owls, Photography by Carlos Royal has arrived by air.
"Eric Blehm and Elizabeth Campillo did a wonderful job on the design and layout of the book. I am amazed at the skill in which Eric blended quotes into the book that brings in the emotions so many felt as they watch Molly and McGee...As far as I know your copies are schedule to arrive sometime around January 20th, for me to sign. I will keep you posted." Carlos

1/10/2011 - From Carlos: No Broadcast of Molly & McGee in 2011
Posted on Molly's Box by Carlos: We will not be broadcasting The Owl Box in 2011. Last year, when Molly showed up, Donna and I put our plans on hold while we broadcast The Owl Box. We have decided not to do that this year because at our age (closing in on 70) we do not believe it is a good idea to put ones dreams on hold. Molly was a once in a lifetime event and we will never forget her or the wonderful people we met because of her....For the complete blog, click on the link:

Molly and McGee Update: We have no cameras hooked up but last night I needed to get some things out of the RV garage. It was
raining and dark so I grabbed a flashlight, as I passed the owl box Ishined the light up on the box and sure enough there was McGee standing in the door looking out at me.

12/12/2010 - Owl Box Disconnected for Winter - Update from Carlos
I know one lady said, “Technology, what technology? All you got to do is plug in a camera.” Today I removed 2,100 feet of cabling, 5 -75 foot extension cords, 2 power USB to Cat -5 power boxes, and that is just the outside cabling. Inside I disconnected 3 computers, 3- 6 socket extension cords with surge protectors, wiring for three internet connections, 3 security camera power supplies, one VCR recorder, 1 security 4 camera recorder and 5 monitors. We ended up with over 20 million hits and over 13 million unique viewers plus we were on the air 24 hours a day for 8 solid months. I also removed 3-12 foot ladders and 2 infrared spot lights. When I turned off the cameras we had 8 different cameras online for broadcast. I had purchased 15 cameras of which a third have already been trashed. Three computers also failed during the 8 months of none stop broadcasting, 2 had to be replaced and 1 was repaired. Donna and I worked around the clock to keep the owl box up and running along with a great bunch of Moderators that never slept to keep the chat room G-rated. I am not complaining, what I want to say is Gee, that was fun and I was a part of it. But I also want you to know that is was not just plugging in a camera.
We will be rather busy until next year. We have a wedding to get ready for. The camera are off and the cabling has been removed. We can not see what’s going on inside the box. As you can see fromt he last photo there are no eggs.
Thanking you in advance for all your support.

12/9/2010- Update from Carlos
The Owl Box Update: Molly was not in the box yesterday but she is back in the box today. This seems to be the pattern as they wait for spring. Last year, they started matting around January 21st, so I would not be looking for much action until next year. Also, we are going to have a wedding in our backyard, so all the cables have to be disconnected and removed because as they are now, they are definitly a trip hazard. I plan to remove the cables this weekend so not even I will know what is going on inside the owl box.

12/7/2010 - Update from Carlos
Molly and McGee were back in the box last night and Molly is in the box today but still no eggs.

12/5/2010 - Update from Carlos:
Molly and McGee Update: Molly spent the last two days in the box so there was a lot of speculation about a third clutch but the box is empty today. In the past Molly has laid an egg within 24 days of returning to the box. McGee ran off Ashley and Carrie on November the 1st, so we should have had some eggs but not so fast. Remember, I said they were not mating. On November 11th, one of the owlets returned until Molly ran her off. So, if we start the clock again, today would be day 24, but Molly is not in the box. Molly has always been in the box the day she laid the first egg of the new clutch. Oops, I guess all that speculation was for nothing.

11/13-11/14/2010 - Molly & McGee Hanging Around the Owl Box
http://mollysbox.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/molly-and-mcgee-hanging-around/
The live streaming video was turned on the afternoon of 11/13 and left on through the night.OB1 shows the outside view of the owl box and OB2 is the outside view of the kestrel box. Molly & McGee came back and there was quite a bit of activity in and around the owl box during the night. One of the owlets, possibly Carrie, may have also stopped by. Carlos plans to leave the cameras on for at least another day and night.

Carlos' Update - Saturday, November 14 at 9 am PST
First part http://bit.ly/dvy74O
Second part http://bit.ly/d3a70g
Summary (complied from the notes of Chris in Olympia WA, PurdyFarmsBecky, and Cinda Browne):
After the cameras shut down, Carlos and Donna left for their HS reunion and were gone for 3 days. When they came back, Carrie was still hanging around the box. Then they left for a week or so RVing and they returned again. On Halloween night, Ashley and Carrie were on fledge ledge. Ashley flew off. Molly came and chased Carrie off. That would have been day 86, and day 85 was when the first clutch was chased off. Then Carrie came back a few nights ago. She was on the landing pad, then the roof. McGee flew in and was talking to her. Then Molly flew in and knocked Carrie off the roof. No sign of Carrie since then. No signs of bonding. Last night it got down to 38 degrees, and M&M both stayed in the owl box all night, and were gone this morning. Molly and McGee are still hanging around the box. Carlos thinks they will wait until January to start 3rd clutch. He is not going to start braodcasting again right now. They are leaving in a couple of days for Hawaii. When they get back they will be busy, then a couple more trips.
Carlos has 3 cameras now on the Kestrel box. This morning a Red Shouldered Hawk was on the Kestrel box. Callie the Kestrel is still looking for a mate.
The mayor of San Marcos gave Austin a proclamation and a plaque for his work with the owl box and raising money for the San Marcos Community Foundation on Tuesday, Nov. 9th. Donna and Carlos were invited to a luncheon by the North County Philanthropy Council on Friday, Nov. 12th and were awarded the 2010 San Marcos Volunteers of the year award.

From Carlos on Molly's Blog: http://mollysbox.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/ashley-steps-out-4-times/
Day 52 was the big day(actually night) for “NO FEAR” Ashley as she stepped out of the box 4 times 10:44Pm, 11:05 PM, 1:10 AM and 1:50 AM. Max, oldest in the first clutch did not come out of the box until day 56 so just as we thought Ashley is much more advanced at this stage with only two in the box instead of four. The fun now starts as she will leave the box nightly and learn to fly by pouncing from box to fledge ledge and back and forth.

Mister was reinstalled because the temperature over the next few days will be in the 90's.
Rather in depth discussion on the chat over the last couple of days about Jupiter and the Moon and the photos and video that Carlos had posted. Here is a message sent by Colleen to Carlos summarizing the thoughts.
Hello Carlos and Donna. A very knowledgeable photographer on our SPO chat, James, questioned if “Jupiter” on OB2 by the moon, was really Jupiter at all or just a reflection of light that the camera was picking up. I know you would just have the video to go off of the first night as you were asleep, but for the last two nights have you looked out your window and viewed Jupiter live? If so, you would have noticed if what was showing on OB2 was in fact Jupiter or a reflection of light. Please let me know if this has been a mistaken image so we can let the chat know the correct information. Thank you so much also for the opportunity to view the nest box and the friends that have been made because of that.
Animation produced by James Hill - in the star chart animation below you can clearly see that Jupiter disappears under the horizon very early, due to how far ahead it was in comparison to the Moon this morning. The faint dot moving in the opposite direction in the OB2 video is yet another reflection.
Owl Box Video animation 2010-09-25 05:56am - 06:25am http://js-kit.com/blob/1YiMRPXMl4QI_SgT6Dne8h.gif

Reflecting on Harvest Moon and Jupiter too - Video produced by James Hill - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Uo_cIAEY8
A comparison of star charts and video from three different mornings to figure out if the bright dot below and to the left of the moon in the video was actually Jupiter or a reflection inside the camera. All evidence suggests that Jupiter does not appear in the video. After all, Jupiter and the Moon change relative positions from night to night. The star charts were calculated using the same zip code and identical times from the video camera's time stamp.

A video camera pointed at the San Marcos owl box in Carlos and Donna Royal's San Marcos backyard captured images of the Moon and Jupiter passing in tandem Thursday morning beginning at 4:30. The 30-minute section of video was compressed to play in 40 seconds, and features Molly the owl returning to feed her her two owlets, Ashley and Carrie, near the end.

Molly Watchers got a real scare this morning as Molly was late making her final delivery just around first light and a young Cooper's Hawk followed her to The Owl Box. The hawk actually attacked the box by flying around it and making loud squawking hawk sounds hopping to scare the owlets out of the owl box but Molly had joined the owlets inside and kept them calm. This dramatic event lasted for over 30 minute and all Molly Watchers could do was watch and hope as their hearts and adrenaline raced. Finally, the young hawk gave up and flew off. The video camera actually caught the hawk following Molly to The Owl Box.

8/17/2010 - Early Morning - One of the Owlets (Kelly) has Died
On Tuesday, August 17, little Kelly died sometime between 1 am and 2:10 am PDT. She was one week old. For two or three days before, she had not been eating as well as the other owlets, and on Tuesday she seemed weak and disoriented. Molly took her remains off camera and ate them to keep away predators and maintain box sanitation. Much sorrow and consternation was expressed on the chat. Carlos encouraged all to realize that this is all part of nature and to follow Molly's example and move forward celebrating the lives of the three remaining owlets.

Vacadude cartoon tribute Got the sad news this morning (8/17/10) that the third owlet Kelly had passed away in the night. So
I imagined her being welcomed to her new home by all the baby owls that have touched our hearts--the unborn from the first clutch (Dudley and Unnamed) and Punk4 and Punk5 (from the mating pair Owliver and Owlivia). She should should be in very good company! http://www.vacadude.com/data/KellyHeaven2.pdf
