Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Night 88

I missed seeing Flaco at his roost or at the construction site as I had a Zoom call until 8:30 pm. But I did get to see him at the Compost Heap. There was a construction crew working in the Compost Heap when we arrived and while Flaco tolerated them at first, he disappeared.

We thought he might have gone back to the construction site, and looked but we couldn’t find him. We saw the worker’s trucks when we were at the constructions site. Thinking that Flaco would return to the Compost Heap without workers being present, we when up to look for him. When we arrived he was in one of his favorite trees.

He moved around a bit, but fairly quickly caught a Brown Rat. He went to a hill and then a compost pile to eat it. He was in absolutely no rush to eat. In fact, he left a large amount uneaten.

Tonight makes three months since he was released from the zoo. It’s nice to see he’s surviving. But I do wish the Wildlife Conservation Society would capture him and relocate him to a safer place. One where he’s not hunting in a construction site or a a compost heap.
