re: #718 faraway

But, have you ever been chased by an owl?

No, but when walking deep in some dark woods and a full sized owl wakes up, spreads his 6 foot (2 meter) wings in front of you, it is a bit startling. I’ve helped out some wayward baby owls before—careful of the sharp beaks and talons; and more careful still of the mother high in a tree watching.
