Very interesting, but a sad ending!

You might want to stick to young adult stuff. It will have less objectionable content, I think. As for a real suggestion try Sabriel by Garth Nix and if you like it there are others in the series.

Omg, I love this owl! ❤️ I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

Very sad. There has to be better ways to control rodent populations that would not harm other wildlife.

Yes, please do. I know this is mostly meant to be a happy place full of awesome owl photos, but sad stories can be compelling too.

Glad to see this Barn Owl made a full recovery. ❤️

This is an excellent shot of the little Screechie!

Great article. I don’t think there is a right choice in this situation. Too many things about the environment have been altered and it is now survival of the fittest.

Leucistic birds are very interesting. There was a leucistic goldfinch on my feeder a few years ago. They are just kind of washed out looking.

 

Seems like there is no good solution to this situation.

 

Flaco update this morning. Cities are full of hazards for birds of prey. It was nice to think of Flaco being free and living his best life, but he would have been safer in the zoo. I still can’t say that seems like the better option. The enclosures for owls always seem so small in zoos.

 

Sad news this morning. I know he faced many dangers in NYC, but had hoped he’d survive. 😢

 

Here is an article from The New York Times about a Eurasian Eagle Owl that escaped a zoo and was living in Central Park. Lots of great photos!
