79th Street Nest
The Riverside pair started nesting this week. Although this may be their first nest, they sure look like experts.

James O’Brien called me and said “Rush over, there’s an owl in the cavity by the bridge.” Now that was a change. The male was back in this old spot. He was visible for a great deal of time after the fly out, but no sign of the female in the standard spot. What’s up? Have the eggs hatched and he’s been kicked out? Or is something else going on, maybe something to do with the squirrel?
Harbor Seal
There has been a Harbor Seal to the north and south of the Boat Basin (79th and the Hudson River) for the last few months. I got to see the seal on Saturday. Too bad. If it was on Sunday, I could have made bad puns about the Easter Seal.
Thanks to Leslie Day, for the heads up.

There was no fly out tonight. All I got to see was this inquisitive squirrel.

Only the male flew out this evening. It was cold and windy. I hope there are kids soon, if only for a change of pace! It’s been a three slow weeks.

Colder weather and only one owl at fly out. He came around after about 10 minutes and landed on the Raccoon tree, then a closer tree and then a big circle along the drive. Then I lost him.
