Description
Flaco, the eagle-owl liberated from his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo, captivated the city. He remained in Central Park for nine months living on his own, eventually also exploring nearby buildings and neighborhoods in Manhattan. In February 2024, one year after his escape, Flaco died after colliding with a building on the Upper West Side. Poet Leonard Schwartz and artist Heide Hatry explore the implications of the Eurasian eagle-owl's sojourn.
