The adult COMMON GULL that was at Olcott yesterday was not found today. There are still quite a few gulls in the area so it could show up again. Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] escaped Eurasian Eagle-Owl still in Central Park
Just heard the escaped Eurasian Eagle-Owl is still in Central Park and is eating on it's own. Don't know why there was ever a question about if it would do that, but what the hey. I know it's an escape but still a wonderful bird to see. I wonder what will happen when the Great Horneds in the park discover it. Trouble in paradise. Also, heard they have given up trying to capture it.
