Pete Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Cool as hell! I love raptors and owls are some of my favorites. A couple weeks ago I saw a short eared owl take out a 4 foot snake. It was hovered 10 feet away from me 10 feet off the ground holding the snake- all I could see was the white underbelly. Awesome!
Beerball Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Amazing That's very cool. Have you seen the extreme slow mo of (sorry, can't remember the type) the owl that is 'forced' to go through a smaller and smaller openings? Very cool to see how it controls its body, wings, head, feet all at once.

truth on hold Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Like a flying cat with those powerful legs and claws. And pounce Edited September 29, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
boyst Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Walking out in the night pastures when you're not really paying attention and hear an owl take flight can really startle you, a big black ominous figure just moving across the sky. I understand why batman is batman, but an owl is much more intimidating.
ieatcrayonz Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 That is indeed awesome but where do I see the eagle? I only saw the owl in the link. The Owl sort of looks like the dudes in predator right at the end.

BuffaloBill Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I had a hawk land on my patio a couple of weeks ago. It was very cool looking.
