Here is an article from The New York Times about a Eurasian Eagle Owl that escaped a zoo and was living in Central Park. Lots of great photos!

There were a lot of great photos in that article! I normally don't like that format they used, but the pictures worked great as a backdrop for this story.

I've been very torn on the whole Flaco saga. It's very romantic that he's doing well, surviving in one of the biggest cities in the world in a place he shouldn't belong in, and living his best bird life.

At the same time, as mentioned in the article, cars, buildings, and poison are huge threats he would not have to deal with if he had been left with his caretakers, and his life would be at least double what it will be with him on his own.

I hope for the best for him, and it always makes me smile to see his name in the news. Godspeed, Flaco! ❤️ 🦉
