Barred Owl Goes South

After finally thinking I understood the Central Park Barred Owl, it did something completely different tonight.

It kept looking south before the fly out, when it usually looks north. So, at fly out it went south, down the Point and across the Lake to the trees east of Bethesda Fountain. These trees have roost site for other owls and raptors in the past, and I wonder if it was keeping an eye on another bird. But it certainly could be just that it was changing up hunting teritories.

So, after a nice run of extended post-fly out adventures, the evening was brief.
