Owls are bad ass! I wish I had one living near me. They do wonders for the squirrel population.

I like owls too but I also like the squirrels in our neighborhood, of course I don't have a garden so that might be why I still like them.

How in the actual fuck do you not see an owl fly into the front of your car??Oh wait woman driver, nevermind.

actually it comes from watching the road further ahead than 5 feet in front of the car – like you should be. If you are seeing the owl, you are missing the traffic.

The Truth

You're an idiot. You should be able to look further down the road all the while seeing objects bolt out from the side of the road. It's called peripheral vision. I sure hope you don't have any deer or children playing near where you live.

Picture an owl likely coming from above at 30-40 miles an hour (if it is not diving for a kill which is faster). I'll be generous and let it be coming in at car level across a field at 30mph. 30 mph is 44 feet per second. If you see it 20 feet away you have less than 1/2 second to stop. Good luck genius.

"the owl escaped uninjured" my ass> He was pulled out and stuffed in a cage.

maybe they took him to a safer location or to the owl dr to make sure he was OK

It's the DNR, or other responsible agency. He will be assessed by a vet and released. If he did have injuries they would be tended. If he had been injured too badly to ever be released he would go to a zoo,, rescue group, or be otherwise cared for fro life. Those guys are the good guys for the Owl.

Dammit man. Insert negative comment regarding your mothers weight or sexual habits, whichever is more offensive to you on a personal level.

Owls are great, until you have the pleasure of trying to sleep while listening to a eastern screech owl or barn owl…not very pleasant

Do you says this because you think all blacks are lazy low lifes, or does your ignorance and hate take another form?. BTW don't forget congress passes all the appropriations. Spread the blame around if you don't like the way money is spent.

Not immortal, just a regular run of the mill terminator. "Owl be back."

OK, I'm glad the owl survived uninjured, but do we know if the owl was able to deliver his owner's message to Hogwarts?
