Were your lights on when the owl was flying with you? I’m curious if it was using the light. Snowys so rarely visit this area...and some a-ho usually shoots it when one does.

Yes. this was either at about 10:30 PM, 1:30 AM or 5:30 AM, but seldom the last.

Only rarely did I see it pounce to one side or the other on something, it usually just flew along with me for a few miles.

Thanks. A lot of birds of prey slam into cars, and sometimes through open car windows, because they sit on one side of a road easement and watch the opposite side. When they see prey, they swoop down. Sometimes a car intervenes.

I often think... fish must get awfully tired of seafood. What're your thoughts, Hobson?

Same word is “pulpo” in Spanish, “polvo” in Portuguese and “polpo” in Italian, JFTR (some of the other major Romance languages).

Well, cockroaches have two brains. They have an auxiliary brain in their butt, literally.
