Barn Owl Continues
The Barn Owl in Central Park roosted in a new tree and was much more visible than in days past. It gave some great looks and took its time preening before fly out.

The Barn Owl was a bit easier to photograph today. It’s now on its 8th day in the park, which is longer than expected. It regurgitated a pellet at dusk.
I’m on vacation in Miami and couldn’t help look out for owls while I was here. I was able to see a few Burrowing Owls at a Miami Executive Airport.
This winter Snowy Owls have been spotted along the sea coast of New York City and Long Island this winter. I love watching them from a distance. If you are interested in seeing a Snowy Owl, read up on the special care needed to watch these great birds before you go out to see one.
I was worried about this owl getting disturbed by people, but it and two other owls nearby managed to get spooked by a large four engine jet coming in low to land at JFK.
Just in time for Halloween, Central Park had a bright moon, a bat and a Great Horned Owl this evening. I think it may be an old visitor, as it flew out to a favorite post fly out perch of the owl from two years ago.
