You outdid yourself this time. I love your bird pictures. Thank You. I've been saving them but I don't know which one of these is best. How did you manage that?

I then added some new ones to make it look like the unfolding of his life-story. He was hatched in captivity in a bird sanctuary in North Carolina, then transferred to Central Park, NY. This is his first hatch day experiencing life as a free creature.


This photo of Flaco below was taken this morning, he's listening to someone singing Happy Birthday

Nothing strange about this sight at all: An escaped Eurasian eagle-owl perched on a bundle of rebar in a large Manhattan construction site. Flaco in Central Park’s Harlem Meer construction site last night.
