"The Shiba Inu puppies may have met their match. Ustream's latest breakout animal star is Molly the owl, whose activities \u2014 including the birth of baby owlet, Max \u2014 are being broadcast live to the web.\nMolly is a wild owl inhabiting an owl house barn in San Marcos, California. According to the info on the Ustream page, Molly \"appears to be a first-time mom,\" with the rest of her babies expected to hatch this month. \nTo date, Molly has laid six eggs with the next \"Molly Watch\" \u2014 or egg hatch \u2014 expected to take place tomorrow. Careful viewers will note that she has also a gentleman caller that tends to make an appearance after sundown.\nSince Molly made her Ustream debut in mid-February, there have been more than 1.4 million views of her channel The Owl Box, and the current viewer count is more than 17,000 at the time of this post.\nApart from the cute owl factor, The Owl Box provides an atypical glimpse at a natural phenomenon. Its growing popularity points to the unparalleled voyeuristic opportunities that sites like Ustream provide, and we expect this channel to continue to be a big hit as Molly's eggs hatch and new baby owlets are born.\nYou can watch the live feed below, friend Molly on Facebook or follow her on Twitter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Img credit: lyle e davis]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
