Barred Owl Perches On Turtle Pond Island

A small group is respectfully watching one of the Barred Owl’s fly outs in Central Park.  They’re doing a great job of spotting the owl after it leaves its roost area. On Friday night the owl went to the small island in Turtle Pond, north of Belvedere Castle.  I’m happy to have company watching the owl now, since some of the newcomers have great night vision.  I was able to stay with the owl to 5: 30 p.m.  It gave a full “Who cooks for you” call before flying off into the dark.
