Hoo-hoo. Who are you looking at?

The past two springs have seen TRU campus home to nest of owlets. The Great Horned Owls are frequently spotted perched on buildings and heard hooting from trees. Lately, they have been perched in a spruce tree.

The owls were first spotted in March of 2008 in a tree outside of the Science building. A web cam was set up, streamed to the Internet and the world watched with great interest. The web cam is no longer operating.

The story also attracted The Vancouver Province newspaper and its online edition.
