Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Monday and Tuesday

Monday and Tuesday nights were both similar, with Flaco quickly disappearing to the east after fly out.

On Monday night the pre-fly out activity was fairly normal with stretching and hooting. At fly out it was a quick set of perches with a small amount of hooting from Green Bench, the West Drive and Nuttery’s Battery (in a tree just north of the one he normally uses). Then he dropped down going south east and was quickly out of sight.

On Tuesday, the pre-fly out activity was interesting as Flaco stared and stared to the south. He had his eye on something. He never hooted and seemed really fixated on something to the south. At fly out he went quickly to a Black Locust at the compost heap, and then went east. He couldn’t be relocated.
