I spent an hour this afternoon at the Reservoir of Central Park, watching a Peregrine Falcon on the divider between the east and west side. It was just hanging out, but keep all of the gulls, including a Laughing Gull from resting on the divider.

On my walk home, I stopped in the Ramble to look for Fox Sparrows, which have just returned to the park this week. I found on on a path at the Evodia Field.

As I continued home, I ran across a group of birders watching a Barred Owl. The group was able to watch it make a few flights before loosing track of it. It made one attempt to catch a squirrel.

As the cold weather finally hits us, it’s nice to know we’ll have some fun birds in the park in the late fall and early winter.
