A Lunch-Time Feathursday
Yep, just as our header suggests -- and getting progressively more gruesome. These images are reproduced from paintings by the German wildlife artist Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865-1926) from the second volume in Brehms Tierbilder, published in Leipzig and Vienna by Bibliographisches Institut in 1913.
Shown here from top to bottom are group of non-European finches, a Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius), a Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo), a Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), a Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), and a couple of Marabou Storks (Leptoptilos crumeniferus).
Bon appetit!

In 2023, when Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl, escaped the zoo in NYC, I I sketched his wikipedia photo where he looks like a prototype for Totoro, the forest spirit.
NYT has an article about him today, on the anniversary of his escape, with great photos. But there is also a video in it that is very sad - I did not know that at first, after his escape, he just sat on the sidewalk surrounded by people. He looks terrified there.
PS: Love the scientific name for these species - Bubo bubo.

Hibou grand-duc d'Europe - Selon la configuration des lieux, ils peuvent quitter leur nid très tôt, avant même de savoir voler. Ils crient alors toute la nuit pour se faire repérer de leurs parents, et peuvent ainsi être nourris jusque 6 mois après être partis
Lieu : Pairi Daiza

I for one welcome our new strygine overlord. :)
Backstory: This gentleman escaped from Central Park Zoo in March after his enclosure there was vandalized, and there was a lot of concern over whether or not he could/would survive out of captivity. Unconcerned by this, Flaco settled himself in a particular area of Central Park and spent all the spring, summer, and most of the fall eating large numbers of rats, and genially allowing himself to be photographed by an ever-growing cadre of bird paparazzi.
Then a few weeks ago, possibly irked by repeated mobbing by assorted hawks and corvids, Flaco took off from his normal haunts and went on a brief tour of apartment-building courtyards on the Lower East Side. Now he's on the Upper West Side, within sight of Central Park (so food's no problem, should he feel like heading back that way to hunt), and shouting for everybody to hear that he owns the place. The image above shows him on the water tower of an apartment building at 86th and CPW.
If you look back through the Manhattan Bird Alert and Above 96th Twitter feeds, you'll see many splendid pictures of him. He's a handsome lad, and it's good to see him thriving.
What's in his future? Hard to tell. (Though some people on Twitter are suggesting he should run for mayor.) He may head upstate at some point. But he may decide he's quite happy to be a Manhattanite. As a fellow one, I wish him very well. :)

Another raptor Andrew got the honor of being able to photograph. This guy was FIERCE! The talons on him are very intimidating to say the least.

I love owls, they have either the most serious face or look like they're made of autism

A Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco has been on the loose for a week in New York City after a vandal cut through his mesh enclosure at the Central Park Zoo. Despite efforts to trap him and almost around-the-clock monitoring by zoo staff, the owl has so far evaded capture. 
“We are stressed and frustrated and tired,” one employee, who requested anonymity because zoo workers were ordered not to speak to the press, tells Gothamist’s Jake Offenhartz. “People have been up all day and night.”
Zoo staff first noticed Flaco was missing from his exhibit at 8:30 p.m. on February 2, per a statement. That night, he was spotted near Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue before he headed back to Central Park. The bird has mostly stuck close to the zoo, perching in trees in the park and even visiting the zoo’s crane exhibit.
His presence has drawn crowds of bird enthusiasts, who spent hours snapping pictures and peering at the majestic creature through binoculars over the weekend. 
“I’ve been here for six hours today,” birder Anke Frohlich told Patch’s Peter Senzamici on February 5. “I’ve taken so many pictures of him … getting harassed by hawks, fluffing up, his orange eyes, sneezing.”
With a wingspan of five to six feet, Eurasian eagle-owls are one of the world’s largest owl species, according to the nonprofit The Peregrine Fund. They have a striking appearance—bright orange eyes, ear tufts and mottled feathers—and are native to Europe, Asia and parts of northern Africa. In the wild, the birds will gobble up anything from small mammals to woodpeckers to fish and amphibians using their excellent eyesight and sharp hearing to silently swoop down on their prey. 
But Flaco has lived in the zoo’s care for more than a decade, having arrived in 2010 at less than a year old, and bird experts are concerned he will not be able to feed himself, writes the New York Times’ Karen Zraick and Lauren McCarthy. It’s possible the owl has snagged a meal during the night.
