Safe to post- barred owl!

Yesterday there was a special visitor in the Rambles, a barred owl. It rested in several trees and was seen by a cluster of birders, but it's not good for the bird to have a noisy group of people in its vicinity, so I would never post owl news until the owl has departed. It's not in the Rambles today or anywhere else in the park. Birders have searched. Maybe the rock concert last night egged it on.
Tomorrow I will post a series of the barred owl photos. Gorgeous bird. There hasn't been a barred owl in Central Park for a very long time.
