Owls hunt in the early evening as well as early mornings. Of course they hunt all night but we don't think of them hunting when the sun is out. I live in a wooded area and have seen huge owls when I was leaving for work early in the morning. It is light enough to see them but it seems so strange to see one. They make no noise when flying despite their size. I won't walk Gracie too far from home early in the morning and I always make sure her evening walk is well before dusk. The last owl I saw was a least 3 feet tall from head to tail. They are huge and not afraid of humans either. Glad you had helpers. Take no chances. |
