If you visit the Central Park Ramble, you certainly will see a Tufted Titmouse. The bird-feeder area is a great place to watch some in action.

There is some danger, yes, but the park's Red-tailed Hawks also eat a lot of rats and known instances of poisoning have been rare in recent years as the Conservancy ceased using rodenticide.

Why do large owls like Central Park? Easy meals! The bright white images in this thermal night-video of a lawn are rodents, mostly rats. Owls fly silently, seeing and hearing these abundant prey before swooping down on them. 🦉 🧡 🐁

Yes, it's possible that Astoria left a flock to live on her own or find a different flock. Anyway, she seems happy now.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the Central Park Ramble. These tiny migratory birds can linger into January in small numbers. ❤️
