Great Horned Owl

Over the last ten days, there have been three Great Horned Owl sightings in Central Park, including one today.  Beth Bergman has photographs of the two previous sightings, Friday the 6th and Wednesday the 11th on her blog.

It’s generally rare for the park to have a Great Horned Owl, so it was very interesting when those who had seen the Great Horned Owl on previous days, thought today’s owl might be a different bird than that seen earlier!  It’s quite possible since we’re in a peak migration period for owls.

Looking at Beth’s photographs however, I could lean either way. Is it just one bird or more than one?
