They are a scary sight when you see them up close. I have seen them in the trees on the edge of the backyard. They are huge compared to a regular bird. The big black birds in the area would chase them away though. Our owls are much bigger. I had one fly over my head one morning. Something blotted out the sun for a couple of seconds I looked up and an owl was fly over head and landed on a tree limb. They don't make a sound even though they are so huge!
Wow. That hawk landing that close to your home is really nervy not to mention scary! |
