Ofter the last few weeks, Flaco has been in no rush to do anything after fly out. He’s either exploring the construction site, hooting or just perching on a branch. Hunting seems to be low on the list of his priorities before midnight. We know he’s eating well, as we see him with food in the morning and coughing up pellets, but he seems to have shifted to hunting later in the night when the park is closed.

The longer nights may have made him less in a rush to hunt early, but it’s only a guess. However, it does mean that we’re much less likely to seem him hunt or be on the round if we stay to watch him after fly out.

Tonight was one of those quiet nights. He did some hooting in a tree half way from his roost tree and the construction site after fly out, and then went to the construction site before perching for hours in a tree east of the construction site.
