I think they spot their prey, then just hang out quietly somewhere and wait for the opportunity to get it. Hawks do that to. |
The huge owl that flew over my head landed on a tree branch just a few yards in front of me. It was fall so no leaves on the tree. He turned and looked straight at me. I had just walked my dog and was going back outside to leave. It's like he was saying "I'll get you next time!" Frightening. They are silent when flying despite their size. You would never hear them coming.
