So a family-

Good times are killing me

... of barn owls has been nesting in a rooftop water tower on Manhattan's Upper West Side near Central Park.

Bird experts say it's the first documented case of barn owls nesting in Manhattan in modern history.

It's gotten so popular that nightly crowds have been gathering to catch a glimpse of the rare visitors.

The owl family is believed-

Good times are killing me

... to have two adults and at least five fledglings.

So residents first noticed-

Here we go

... screeching sounds in September, and some people have been seeing adult owl- owls carrying rodents back to the water tower to feed their family.

I once had an owl.

I was standing in my backyard, and you know, we have a barn in our backyard.

Good times are killing me.

And it was like this huge wingspan, this huge shadow just, like, rolled over me, and it perched at the top of our barn, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Here we go.

And of course, I didn't have my phone to take a picture, 'cause isn't that the way?

Good times are killing me.
