I have had the good fortune to see up close a barn owl on three occasions this year, I will get a shot one of these days, I know where they are, its only a matter of time.

once i walked out the kitchen door to see a barn owl sat in the barn opposite, looking at me. so for a laugh i put my hand up and it swooped down.....awestruck and feeling a bit dr dolittle, i left my hand out to meet this coming together of man and beast. of course it sank its talons deep in for stability and i dropped the poor thing on the floor! it forgave me and we did the trick a few times to show off to friends, with a gauntlet. the pain was then bearable. it stuck around for a month but then did a littlest hobo and moved on. maybe cos the chickens beat the hell out of it. must have been a rescue/escapee. awesome sight out hunting at dusk.
