🦉UWS Barn Owl Update: OWL ACCOUNTED FOR All 7 owls (2 adults + 5 fledglings) were spotted on Sunday night. They seem to no longer be using the water tank to roost. Feedings are taking place elsewhere according to @nycbirdalliance. The owls appear to be adjusting to their new circumstances and have found alternative roosting locations (sound like true Manhattanites, if you ask me). We’re hoping any further repairs to the water tank where the owls were roosting will be delayed one more week by @NYSDEC to ensure the owls’ safety, since a few were spotted perching on the tower last night. Thank you again to NYC Bird Alliance staff and volunteers, and the many concerned New Yorkers who continue to monitor the Manhattan barn owls. OWL WE NEED IS LOVE 🥰

Great news. I’ve just confirmed with @nycbirdalliance that the barn owl fledglings have been observed and remain in their nest on West 75th. Work has been stopped at the site. I remain in contact with @NYSDEC about how to ensure the nest remains safe from disturbances moving forward. Thank you to the Bird Alliance for their continued work and updates.
The roof of this Upper West Side water tank was removed earlier today, destroying an active nest of the well-known Barn Owl family that lived there, despite federal and state laws protecting such nests. The DEC is on site to investigate.

Multiple groups are out around West 75th Street looking for a sight of any of the Barn owls in the aftermath of the water tower roof getting removed earlier today. Nobody has seen them. Vibes are low.

Under the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022, Russian diesel cannot be imported into the United States unless the president certifies to Congress that Russia has withdrawn from Ukraine, acknowledged Ukraine's sovereignty, and no longer poses a threat to NATO.

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2

Excitement has continued to grow for the Upper West Side Barn Owl family as there are easily more than 50 people on Friday evening photographing the water tower where the birds are nesting. 🦉
Lots of excitement over the family of Barn Owls on the Upper West Side. Dozens of birders have set up shop for the past two nights along Central Park West, between 75th and 76th streets, to capture a shot of the rare birds.

In an incredible development, Elisabeth and Sam Williams appear to have photographed 4 to 5 American Barn owls on Tuesday night outside of a building on W. 76th St. and Central Park West. The owls are "extremely rare" in New York City. Can any owl experts weigh in?
