White-headed Capuchin Monkeys
Another treat on my trip to Costa Rica was a troop of White-headed Capuchin Monkeys.
Three-toed Sloth
I’ve been in Panama and Costa Rica on vacation this last week. I had a great time and got to see lots of great animals including a one in a lifetime view of a Puma.
On the last day of the trip, we saw a few Three-toed Sloths.
Tompkins Square Park 2016, Part II
I returned to the park on Sunday, and caught two behaviors I had missed on Saturday, copulation and eating. Looks like all systems are go for the Spring.
Tompkins Square Park 2016
The Tompkins Square Park pair were very active today. They copulated frequently and worked on their nest. This year they’ve decided to be traditionalists and are working on a nest in a tree, after two years of using air conditioners.
They both roosted for the evening on different fire escapes. The roost were about a third of a block apart, and both had clear views of the new nest.
Tracking The Great Horned Owl
Tonight I was able to track the Great Horned Owl to the Great Lawn, without missing any perches! Stops included a tree near the “humming tombstone”, a lighting tower of the Delacorte Theater and finally to one of Pale Male’s favorite trees on the Great Lawn.
I’m still no closer to seeing her hunt, but was happy to keep track of her for an hour.
Octavia on the Nest
Octavia spent about twenty minutes on her nest this afternoon. Red-tailed Hawks courtship and nest building usually kicks in by Valentine’s Day, so we should starts seeing activity all around the city.
The Sheep Meadow nest blew down this winter and a pair seems to be building a nest on The San Remo.
