The Snowy Owl has been appearing on one of Central Park’s North Meadow ballfields at dusk each day since it arrived. Ballfield 3, 4 and Ballfield 10 seem to be favorites stops.

On Sunday, February 7th, the owl appeared from the west and landed on Ballfield 10, then flew west and we relocated it on top of the Ballfield 4 backstop (where the owl was first seen the day it was discovered). The owl then few down to the field, but quickly took off possibly to the north. We searched but couldn’t find it.

We then joined the group who was waiting for the owl to appear at the North Gatehouse of Reservoir. It appeared and left after a few minutes. The crowd was well behaved on SuperB Owl Sunday, although there were some flashes and autofocus assist lights.

It will be interesting to see what more we learn about this owl. It certainly has been seen in the area north of the Reservoir and south of the North Meadow, but where it is hunting and where it is hiding during the day remains a mystery.
