Flaco continues East Village tour

Reporting by Stacie Joy 

The Flaco watch continues. 

The Eurasian eagle-owl was first spotted far away from his Central Park home on Monday in the East Village. 

And the sightings continue. 

The images here are by @Vinweasel_, who reports he was tracking Flaco via other photographers, and networking together. He photographed the owl at an undisclosed local location with his Sony A7iii with a 70-200 2.8 lens and a monopod.
And at seeing the great Eurasian eagle-owl? 

"I was stoked like a 10-year-old at an amusement park!"

    Big fan of owls myself, but the one in Killers of the Flower Moon freaked me out forever.

    The eurotrash tourism is getting out of hand.

    Great to see wild life in the city, rats are not considered wild life in my book.

    If I was Flaco, I would come to the EV also - we have the fattest rats in the city!

    I feel bad for the owl actually. They should send him back to his natural habitat. Which is probably an impossibility. Sorta the way I feel at the moment actually!! 😂

    Yeah I feel sorry for flaco imagine being the only species of your kind it's got to be lonely and probably scary.

    Heard this morning that Flaco is back in Central Park, which is probably the best thing for him. I'd like to interview him about his EV adventure and ask him what made him suddenly go on a walk-about. Maybe he heard about the return of Cookie Walk.
