“#NYC mourns sudden passing of beloved Central Park owl<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Hoo could measure how many smiles this bird brought?<\/p>\n

After flying into a car early Friday morning, one of the most popular residents of Central Park passed away, the park announced today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s with a heavy heart we share that a barred owl, a beloved Central Park resident, passed away early this morning,\u201d the park\u2019s official Twitter<\/a> account tweeted<\/a> before laying out the tragic details of the bird\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlying low, likely in search of a meal, the barred owl made contact with a Conservancy maintenance vehicle at app<\/a>roximately 2:30 am,\u201d the park said. \u201cConservancy staff immediately reported the incident and Urban Park Rangers were contacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was unclear as of this writing whether the deceased owl was Barry the barred owl, who has been profiled in the New York Times<\/a> and has her own Twitter account<\/a>, or another, less famous barred owl who the park was merely honoring in eulogy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon request for comment, a spokesperson clarified that it is unknown whether the owl was Barry or another member of her species.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot say for certain if it was Barry, but we can confirm it was a barred owl,\u201d a Central Park Conservancy spokesperson told Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The creature was mourned widely, no matter its identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are saddened to learn that our beloved BARRED OWL died last night in an accidental collision with a @CentralParkNYC maintenance vehicle. We will miss her wondrous and beautiful presence in the park,\u201d popular nature account Manhattan Bird Alert tweeted<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty, even Barry\u2019s own Twitter account assumed the bird in question was she and mourned her passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipated that one day she may fly away to find a mate, but never imagined she would be taken like this. We are utterly heartbroken, frankly, angry, and we are mourning alongside you,\u201d tweeted<\/a> Barry\u2019s account. \u201cRest in peace, sweet, bea-hoot-iful, talon-ted, one-of-a-kind Barry. We will always love and miss you, fren.\u201d<\/p>\n
