Pēteris Daknis, an ornithologist, recently found a suitable location to install a camera to observe a pair of owls. He mentioned that while owls often have multiple potential nesting sites, this particular site offers the right conditions, without excessive human visibility that might deter the birds or disrupt their nesting process. The camera is part of a project by the Latvian Ornithological Society, aimed at tracking and studying local bird populations.

Currently, the owl pair is residing in Pierīga, amidst a sparse growth of old pines, which makes it an ideal site for them to nest and raise their young. The ornithologist noted that this site had significant potential because the pair frequently visits it, especially the female, indicating that they are considering this area for nesting. However, Daknis maintains a cautious optimism, acknowledging the unpredictability of wildlife.

This initiative is one of 400 artificial nests established by the Latvian Ornithological Society, which is part of a broader effort to monitor and support bird populations in Latvia. The use of technology, such as live cameras, is crucial for gathering data on bird behavior and conservation efforts, thereby enhancing public interest and awareness of local wildlife.
