I wasn’t able to view the fly out, but Jean reports that one owl flew out around 6:15. There was no sign of the kids this evening.

Just the usual. Only the mother was visible this evening.

031306esod — The tree limb choices have been much higher the last few evenings. We’ve been wondering if there are insects and/or budding branches that are attracting the owl to higher perches.

I was unable to make the fly out, but reports are that it was what we’ve come to expect these last few evenings, with only the mother making an appearance.

Evening Shots of Charlotte on Nest

On Monday night, after watching an Owl fly out, I made my way down to Central Park South, to see if I could take pictures of Charlotte on her nest. Here are the grainy results…

The nest is so high, she’s barely visible once she settles in.

Charlotte lays an egg

Reports are that Charlotte laid an egg on Sunday and is now sitting on the Central Park South nest. This is about a week later than Lola who is already sitting on her Fifth Avenue nest.

If all goes well this year, it should be a wonderful Spring with lots of fledglings in the park.

Saturday’s fly out was very predictable with no sign of the kids.

After the fly out we had a surprise, she went to the top branches of some very high London Planes and called for her mate. I was sad to hear, as there was no response like we had so sweetly heard a few weeks earlier.
