Cooper’s Hawk
Late fall is a great time to Hawk Watch in New York City. There are lots of migrants passing through and some may even stay for the winter. Here’s a Cooper’s Hawk in Central Park.
Eastern Screech-Owl
Tonight is the last day, I can owl or hawk watch during the week. After this weekend, we’ll be back on Eastern Standard Time, and it will be dark when I leave work.
Eastern Screech-Owl, New Location
A shift of cavities found Central Park’s Eastern-Screech Owl in a familiar location from previous years. She’s lost two mates over the last few years and is now single.
I miss the duets after fly out we used to here. Now we only hear a few calls, and then silence.
Eastern Screech-Owl
One of the joys of late Fall in New York City is the ability to relocate owls that during the warmer months easily hide in tree tops during the day.
What may be the last remaining Eastern Screech-Owl in Central Park, was found again now that the weather is colder.
Merlin Continues
The Merlin that had been hanging out on top of a watertower on Central Park West between 101st and 102nd is still there. On Tuesday, just like Sunday it caught dinner just before dusk.
Merlin On Halloween
The pictures and video are of poor quality, but the find was exciting. A Merlin was on top of a water tower on Central Park at 111th Street. This small falcon was a fun find on a cold afternoon.
