Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl, perched on the Naumburg Bandshell last Friday night. Extreme opinions have been expressed about him. On this subject and others, perhaps we should behave more like owls: patiently watch and wait. (1/15)

The question of Flaco’s continuing freedom is moot with the zoo suspending its efforts to capture him again. I was able to observe their efforts to attract him with playback last Thursday night. He was responsive vocally but seemed to fly away from it more than towards it. (2/15)
They tried and it didn’t work. Any continued use of loud, sustained playback could be more harmful to sensitive birds in the park than Flaco would be as a novice hunter. Flaco might one day be a threat to sensitive birds but he isn’t today. (3/15)
The sumptuous male cardinal in the ravine Thursday in @CentralParkNYC was strictly grab-n-go, but he was a repeat customer. First he perused the menu. 1/10 #BirdTwitter #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #BirdsSeenIn2022 #birdcpp #birdcpnyc #biodivercity

Next he psyched me out 3/10
