Following up on the kestrel release, I was contacted by the Horvath's about releasing 5 Eastern Screech Owls in Central Park.
Adam Welz gets his ESO ready...

Urban Ranger gets in on the act.
Birding Bob has red-phase!
(Also spotted was a Ivory-Billed Woodpecker).

Bruce releases the one adult of the bunch.
Bobby and Francois located on of the released young.
While about 50 robins harass the lone adult!
Back at the parking lot, the Horvath's share with us some of the other injured birds in their care.

They're cute - but don't you need to release a few of each species if you are trying to build a population?
Great pics. Anonymous Central park already has a thriving population of Screech owls. These owls will just supplement the existing population.
Oh, wow, what gorgeous owls! I especially love that photo of "Screechy". :)
