    Flaco flew da coop!

    From today's NYT:

    An Owl Named Flaco Is Loose in Central Park, With Vandals to Blame
    After leaving his damaged Central Park Zoo enclosure the night before, a Eurasian eagle-owl was the subject of an intense rescue effort as darkness and temperatures fell on Friday.

    Flaco is enjoying his new found freedom----and eating well I'm sorry to say it, but any critter that eats rats will find NYC a regular smorgasbord
