Who's who at the Post Office?

Daisy Mountain Station, in Phoenix, AZ, has become the proud adoptive postal parent of two baby owls.

A saguaro cactus out in front of the office is a nesting site for a long horned owl who hatched two baby chicks (see picture).

To protect the young family, the Post Office has roped off the area from the curious throng.

"We can see them through our box section window," said Supervisor Lynn McLuty.

McLuty thinks the birds will soon be ready to leave the nest, thanks to hotter temps and developing wings.

If we notify the Bird/Wild Life Conservation group of our effort maybe USPS may be eligible for some funds or awards to being a good citizen and protecting the endangered species.
