Last spring I walked Central Park from south to north to visit Flaco haunts. Starting in the dark, the first person I saw was in the Ramble. He wore binoculars and I asked if he was a birder. It was Edmund Berry, who later shared these photos. @EspressoBird @BirdCentralPark

Love that the homepage of New York Historical Museum's The Year of Flaco exhibit uses a photo by David Barret close to the one on the cover of The Book of Flaco. The book is available there too @BirdCentralPark @EspressoBird @nanknighton @SandraBirdlover

One more by Anke, and this by Ben Goldfarb, author of Crossings: "The Book of Flaco is a charming, passionate ode to the world's most charismatic owl--and the latent wildness we all harbor." Ben Goldfarb @_AnkeFrohlich @BirdCentralPark @ben_a_goldfarb

I'm new at the posting of bird pics game, and, as some of you have gently reminded me, have made a few early blunders. But if you like the great picture of Flaco and the robins please check out more of Anke's photos at: @_AnkeFrohlich
