I arrived after dinner to find that Flaco had caught a Brown Rat at the Compost Heap, and had been flushed so that he moved to the Harlem Meer construction site to eat it. When I arrived most of the owl watchers thought he had finished it, but at least half of it was right in front of him. He would make some flight but returned to retrieve the rat and then ate it on an excavator. He got startled and then took the rat to a second excavator. Once he was finished, he flew to Nutter’s Battery and started hooting. It was late and knowing he can hoot for hours, we all went home.
