After reading CS‘s Tuesday report of a too-close encounter with an owl along Bonair in North Admiral earlier this week, Cory e-mailed to share this:
Mine happened last Wednesday morning at 4:45 am on California Ave as it heads around Hamilton Viewpoint and down to the beach. He took two passes….one skimmed the top of my head, and the next, 20 seconds later, he was clawing at my scalp. Needless to say, a loud scream and an arm wave scared him off. The spooky part of the whole incident was the fact that he/she was totally silent…….small animals don’t stand a chance!!
I have seen a large owl in the trees on Bonair, and can only imagine this is the same one that swooped on the other jogger and me.
The comments on our previous story have yielded some interesting comments and context since the original report – including this one about a possible reason, and this one with a “coexisting with owls” link!
