Guess who's returned to New York's Central Park? Flaco, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, is back and bird lovers are rejoicing, as the Big Apple's winged celebrity is back in his favorite spot, an oak tree inside Central Park. Flaco flew the coop in February after someone vandalized his enclosure in and he was most recently spotted on a Fifth Avenue building across from the Central Park Reservoir.
