From Chuck LeMay

I went looking for an Owl this morning and it found me. I’m walking down a path in Hadley and got hit in the top back of the head. I thought something fell out of the tree but didn’t see or hear anything hit the ground. I started walking again and felt something brush against my left cheek, then l saw the Owl flying in front of me. It flew into a tree with too much brush between us for me to get a good picture. Within seconds it flew about 50 feet and attacked another Owl. Both flew away and tracked one of them down and it eventually sat on a railing and posed for me.

This is a first for me and fortunately there was no blood on my head just a scratch. The brush against my face was from the wing of the owl.

      I’d imagine those talons would keep most from getting too fresh with their toes. Those things are definitely capable of leaving a mark! 😶

      On a serious note though, owls have absolutely tremendous grip strength, and I wish there was a way to get that on video. The big owls have feet that clamp tighter than most non-wolf type dogs.
