one of these roosting under the eves of our small barn. We have not seen it again since.
However, there’s evidence that this has been a well used roosting spot over the years.

These owls sometimes roost together in groups of 50+ - And, groups of > 100 have been found!!

We are keeping a look out for his/her return.

I hope they reappear for you. Central Park is too much of a hazard for owls. Donkees Tuesday #4
