Last week, the first ever Barred Owl was reported in Bryant Park along 42nd Street in Manhattan.
We've seen Barred Owls before in Manhattan in Central Park, but seeing one in the ultra-urban area alongside the famous New York Public Library building was pretty special.
By the time we saw it, the owl had already been in the park overnight
and had been observed catching and eating rodents. Despite the noise of
construction equipment, power tools, sirens and traffic, the owl did not appear
stressed. In fact, it managed to get some shut-eye most of the time we were there.
The owl stayed in the park another night before continuing on its journey to parts unknown.
Below is a brief video for more context.
