I have seen one baby owl up close..It knocked itself out on my glass door..I put it in a box, covered it with a handtowel..It was gone by morning.
I saw owls at my daughter’s neighbor’s. Thy had a house” on the back fence pole.
I had a similar experience with a buzzard flying right at me..I was a passnger..You could see the scratch marks on the high upper windshield where his talons touched..My son in law was driving..We were both shaken!
Shaken? No doubt, that would be scary...
