I had a chance to catch up with Flaco on both Tuesday and Thursday nights. He’s hunting up at the compost heap most nights now, skipping the construction site.

On Thursday, he flew right past me and caught a rat, which we heard squeal as it got caught. He caught it and continued flying, returning to the tree he had been perched in. He ate the rat on a low level branch. As a few of us photographed him, we watched the light change from Green to Yellow to Red as a stop light 100 feet away was the primary light source.
