    I had first-hand experience on how quiet owl flight is. Walking down a snow covered woods road (Maine) yesterday, an owl (barred) appeared dramatically chest high in front of me.  If I could extend my arm, I could have touch it. Idid not hear a sound when it must have swooped down from a tree. The detailed lesson featured the barred owl's feathers and flight...which I saw extreme closeup. This behavior seemed unusual, was the owl defending it's territory?

    I enjoyed the course and would like to go back and revisit sections. The sounds in the night was intriguing and what to look for in sighting an owl.  Thank you for the link , how to build owl/bird boxes.

    An interesting exercise, I replayed several times...a lot of activity at night. The barn owl screech reminded me of a four footed animal cry. The fox was creepy.

    A large owl was stunned or injured at the end of our dirt driveway on the side of the road. I live in Maine and called "Avian Haven" a nonprofit wild bird rescue/hospital in Palermo,ME. They advised us how to move it . As we were placing the owl in a large cardboard box , the eyes looked at me  and moved its wings, we had to let go and the owl flew off beautifully.  I have seen a great horned owl in Alaska. It sat on a branch of a tall tree for quite a while, but I didn't have a camera. A snowy owl near Logan airport Boston. I live on 15 acres near a state park and hear owls frequently...would like to see one here.
