New Yorkers, and those beyond, sadly mourn the loss of Flaco the beloved Eurasian eagle-owl, who captured the hearts of people everywhere, with his courage and his enjoyment of the freedom, while he had it. An artist called Calichoart has painted this beautiful mural of him on the Lower East Side. I do not know where, but I am sure residents in the area can direct you. The artist did a beautiful job, capturing the majesty and handsomeness of Flaco.
Those interested in visiting Flaco's tree should go to an oak tree, now memorialized near East 102nd Street, by the North Woods. There you can see the tree where Flaco began his journey as the most celebrated New Yorker of last year.
But wait, there is more! An online petition exists for those who wish to have a memorial statue of Flaco erected in Central Park. Count me in, darlings, I would do anything to help Flaco.
He is not about to be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful mural.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure there will be some sort of memorial.
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he is gone, either. He brought such joy to the people of this city, and everywhere. There is a petition to erect a statue of him in Central Park, and I am all for it.
