Burrowing Owl on the Gulf Coast of Florida. #Owl

A throwback to Flaco’s first full day of freedom, 2/3/23, looking north from near CP South. I always worried that he might one day leave the relative safety of CP and venture out into the streets, but that’s part of freedom. Be safe, Flaco! Hope to see you again! #flaco #birdcpp

Here’s Flaco looking spooky from earlier this year. #Halloween #birdcpp

It was an exciting and beautiful (if a bit hot) spring day in Central Park with 2 great horned owls in very close proximity. #birdcpp

The Pinetum in CP has been a popular spot for visiting owls in the past few months, seeing a Northern Saw-whet, Great Horned, and Long-eared owl. This Saw-whet spent some time just east of the Pinetum near softball field #7 in December into January. #birdcpp

Flaco in mid-hoot. Since gaining his freedom almost 6 weeks ago, he’s been hooting his way all over Central Park, probably wondering “what’s a handsome, respectable owl like me gotta do to get a date in this crazy town?!” #flaco #birdcpp

This afternoon, Flaco endured the harassment of a pesky neighbor (Cooper’s Hawk) and the racket of a couple low flying helicopters, when all he wanted was some sleep. He’s having a true NYC experience. #flaco #birdcpp

“Hey Flaco, wanna go back to living in a cage?” Flaco laughs at the suggestion (actually he was about to expel undigested bits of rat) #flaco #birdcpp

Flaco tends to his murder-mitts, not long after expelling a pellet! #birdcpp #flaco

New to Twitter. First post is the Northern Saw-whet owl from last week in Central Park, right as the storm was coming in. #owls #birdcpp
