The Central Park Barred Owl was on a very low branch today. It got sunlight and being next to the trunk wasn’t being blown in the wind. Two squirrels gave it a hard time before fly out, but otherwise we saw then normal stretching and preening.
The owl flew southwest and hunted near where a man feeds pigeons and sparrows, and indirectly rats. We hear a noise that was hard to find. But the owl located the source, a squirrel at the top of a dead tree limb. It was the next stop for the owl. After a few attempts to catch the squirrel, the owl then flew west and we lost track of it.
