Great Horned Owl in Central Park - 10th Nov
A grey and slightly damp morning in Central Park made considerably brighter by a Great Horned Owl which has been roosting in a tree in The Ramble since Sunday. The last of this species seen in Central Park was 3 or 4 years ago according to birders I've spoken too, but they don't often stay for very long. This one looks comfortable, let's hope it hangs around. One bird that does look like it's settling in is the juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker which has been in The Oven for at least a week. It is staying very faithful to a particular tree, and is storing acorns and chasing off other woodpeckers in a very proprietorial way.
