We get owls occasionally, it's an incongruous sound in the city, but there he was.

They've been known to kill so beware.

Owls are usually night birds.Once I came across with an owl in my own back yard.I stepped out to do some chores and lo and behold it was there.It was very big and really pretty. I stopped in my tracks and it stared at me with his big eyes. I thought it looked different from a regular owl somehow.From the ones we see in picture books.It was a staring competition with it.It looked like a garden ornament except he was moving his neck once in a while.After a while I thought I should get my camera and went inside .When I went back it's gone.I discussed it with a person who knows a thing or two about owls and gave a good description of how it looked like.He said it was a rare variety that usually is not seen in broad daylight and usually stays in deep woods.I feel blessed that I actually saw one.

I live in the boonies goodies. Owls are not common, but not rare either. On night we had a visit from a Great Horned owl. Its HOOT was so deep it sounded like the bird was about 6 feet tall.

Owls can get big. I was in the woods once and accidentally startled an owl into slamming into a tree branch. I think about that sometimes.

When I was out in the evening feeding my horse, I would hear many owl conversations going on in my woods. Never saw them though. Our night watch guy at the TB horse farm where I worked during foaling season took an amazing video of one that actually let him get close to it. So much nature when living in rural areas

 Seriously I love the sound they make and any bird for that matter. Beautiful... Owls eat lizards. (Tiny ones, LOL)

Oooh, I love the sound of an owl. When I hear one it usually means autumn.

 I also like the way they look.Off topic, but I like the sound of crickets too. Very relaxing and calming, so musical. They are scary LOOKING ugly insects though! But that sound....no musical instrument can mimic that.

I was driving up to the barn a couple of nights ago just as it was turning dark to take care of my neighbors horses. As I was driving up the steep driveway, an owl took off flying right in front of my truck. Good thing it had a good lift off. Too dark for a photo but a cool experience
