Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Relaxed Night

On Wednesday, Flaco flew out calmly and then basically did very little until the park closed at 1 am. He flew to a number of trees in the locked meadow he’s been using and that was it. We’ve had nights like this before so it wasn’t unusual, but it was a bit dull.

The area he’s hunting in now has a feral cat. My reaction to seeing the cat was that while it seemed to be getting plenty to eat, it shouldn’t be in the park and should be rescued. Seeing the cat made me wonder why and how public sentiment around Flaco became that he should be allowed to stay free.
