The Barred Owl was out on an open branch in the Hemlock tree it has been roosting in, enjoying the sunlight for most of the afternoon. For many Central Park bird watchers it was a treat, as the owl has usually been tucked deeply in the tree and hard to watch. However, a Cooper’s Hawk forced the Owl to find a safer branch for the late afternoon. Fly Out was fairly normal with a visit to a branch near the roost, and then another a bit to the north. The owl ended up being scolded by a Northern Cardinal, and the owl made a half-hearted attempt to go after it. It then made a long flight and after one perch, made another and we lost track of the where the owl went.
