Tuesday and this morning I was hearing a lot of racket from crows around my block. Just a little later I did see a Peregrine hanging around the neighborhood swooping up and down West End Avenue between 90th and 86th, scaring the pigeons - eventually catching a pigeon and eating on the tower of the United Methodist Church on the corner of 86th where they were known to nest so I didn’t think further about it.
Then just after sundown I heard a faint hooting - the single low spaced apart whoooo I assume of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Ken Chaya told me they were hearing Flaco up in his neighborhood in the 100s - so I guess he has made it to my block near the corner West End Avenue between 89th and 90th - but no visuals yet.
