Flaco gave a runner on the West Drive a boost of adrenaline when he swooped down and landed in front of him on this rock. The runner then joined us to admire Flaco—he looked especially cute with his ear tufts blowing in the breeze.🏃♂️🪶💕🦉

Flaco’s fly out today. No hooting sadly. He headed for the construction site again which seems to be a good hunting ground for him

If you’re a Central Park rat and you look up at night to see this face, you’re probably in trouble. Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl, a few weeks ago.

After numerous unsuccessful recent attempts to find

at his new location, with another birder’s help, I got to see him east of the East Drive, at 104th Street, in a black walnut tree across the drive from pole E0402.

Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl picked a new daytime resting place today, well east of his most recent ones but still in Central Park's North End, in a pine opposite the A.H. Green Bench.
Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl, in full hooting posture recently. In the initial weeks after his escape, the volume, duration and frequency of his hooting increased as his confidence seemed to increase.

Another photo of Flaco, the escaped Eurasian eagle-owl of Central Park, New York, the other night at the Harlem Meer construction site (which is inside the park near his roosts). He is perched on some wooden wedges near large concrete forms.

Tonight Flaco’s flyout featured a cameo by a Red-tailed Hawk. Fearless Flaco left this perch immediately after the hawk made contact and we eventually lost sight of him.💕🦉

Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl continues this Tuesday morning, sleeping peacefully in the Central Park North Woods east of West Drive at 104th Street near lamppost W10403, visible from the paved path leading to the Loch.
We are relieved and overjoyed that Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, who had spent his entire roughly 13-year life in captivity, has learned to obtain prey and feed himself after a week in the wild of Central Park.
Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl is resting high over the waterfall at the north end of the Central Park Loch this Friday morning, south of Huddlestone Arch.
