BAYPORT, N.Y. -- Just weeks after the loss of the beloved Central Park owl Flaco, there is a new little creature on Long Island to fall in love with.There was an extraordinary effort in Bayport on Thursday to save the baby owl, who, unlike Flaco, cannot fly or hunt yet on its own.'I see a little white thing on the side, right under that tree, and it's funny because I thought it was a little leftover snow,' resident Linda Ferrara said.
The PSEG tree company Asplundh volunteered to help.The Sweetbriar team built a new nest, big enough so there would be no more falls.Before the treetop reunion, there was a hoot from the winged creatures for the utility workers on a mission of mercy.'After everything that happened with that poor bird in the city, I felt so bad about that. Now to see us putting a little bird up there, to me, it's the Long Island Flaco,' said Greg Hallstein, Asplundh's safety superintendent.
