We’ll probably stop there though, or this could turn in to a very expensive marketing gimmick. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/lions">lions</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/monkeys">monkeys</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/otters">otters</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/owls">owls</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects">projects</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wildlife">wildlife</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wildlifenearyou">wildlifenearyou</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://owlsnearyou.com/">owlsnearyou.com</a></strong></p> Nat and I built this over the weekend. It asks for your location, then tells you where your nearest Owl is (using sightings data people have entered on WildlifeNearYou.com). If you’re using Firefox 3.6 or an iPhone it grabs your location using the W3C geolocation API so you don’t have to type anything at all. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/geolocation">geolocation</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/iphone">iphone</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/owls">owls</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/owlsnearyou">owlsnearyou</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects">projects</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wildlife">wildlife</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wildlifenearyou">wildlifenearyou</a></p>
