Boreal Owl Flew the Coop

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Seems like the Boreal Owl that was first spotted on Sunday, December 19th was not found today. Many birders searched for it today without success.

It was a crisp sunny day in Central Park with little wind and temperatures in the mid-30s. I started at the north end of the park and photographed an American Coot on the Harlem Meer that was very cooperative. I worked my way south stopping at the feeders in the Ramble and the Boat Pond so see what was going on with Pale Male. No hawks in sight, in fact, except for the Coot on the Meer and a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk hunting around the Pool at 103rd St. there wasn't a whole lot of activity.
