Last summer I saw a great horned owl make a low pass over my Jack Russell. Just getting a better look I guess.
Two winters ago we lost a min-pin pup, likely to an owl. She was the pick of the litter, a real beaut. All I did was let her out the back door and she was gone in less than two minutes.
I was digging up a bush in the woods behind the house to replant in the yard. With my lab and mini dachshund at my side, I stopped to take a break and noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye. When I turned, I must have surprised a huge owl who broke off his approach toward the dachshund and silently soared off between the trees. He passed by about 10 feet away. Looked like a freakin’ C-130.
Also had a friend who was training a young falcon. For his first untethered flight, he attached the tracking collar and sent him off. The bird disappeared off into the woods and after a few minutes, he started tracking him. It got too dark so he came back the next day, picked up the signal and continued his search. The signal brought him to the base of a huge tree. He looked up to see a large owl nest. The base of the tree was littered with small dog and cat collars...
Last year I was deer hunting in a tree stand there wasn’t alot going on just sitting there watching squirrels running around when out of the blue a red tailed hawk flew right by my stand trying to nail himself a squirrel breakfast. I was just about to climb down and clean out my drawers when a second hawk swooped down through the pines. You never know what your gonna see when you go hunting.
