Flaco’s been rushing north after fly out the last week. He did this again on Wednesday night. He went north to the compost heap and then further north to a tree along the East Drive. We saw him move and then thought he had go to the construction site along the south shore of the Harlem Meer, but it turned out he had just moved within the tree. We only relocated him because he hooted.

He then looped around the compost area, and eventually went to the construction site.

The site has two levels. A roof/walkway that will allow the public to walk from Nutter’s Battery to the Huddlestone Arch at the north end of the Loch. It will have an overlook down to the pool/rink. At ground level, there is a building and an outside deck has taken form but still has a long way to go, and the actual rink/pool which has yet to be fabricated. There will also be a stream, restoring the previous one that flowed from the Loch to the Harlem Meer.

Over the last month, enough work has been done to allow the night watchman for the construction to now go over the roof walkway, through the building and then check on the equipment located where the rink/pool will eventually be built. However this means that while making his rounds, he sometimes flushes Flaco. Now that the route is longer, Flaco seems to be getting flushed more often.

This happened tonight and the last time he got flushed, we couldn’t relocate him. He has a tree he can hide in, but we didn’t find him in it.
