Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Questions

Wednesday, marked the six month anniversary of Flaco’s release by a vandal. It’s good to see that he has beaten the odds against zoo escapes, and has survived.

Over the last few weeks, he’s been exploring a larger area and changing up his roosting locations. Tonight he appeared at the compost heap from the west, but it is still unclear where his new roost site is. At the compost heap he didn’t hunt, but flew back and forth between two trees before going to a Black Locust.

He hooted in the Black Locust, just like had done earlier in the year. He then flew south. We were unable to relocate him. So, we’ve ended up with a lot of questions about where he’s roosting, where he’s going, etc. Hopefully, we’ll get some answers soon.
