Tuesday

Local Audubon chapter arranged for a night "Owl Prowl."

It was around 11:30 pm and Mike says there was a Long Eared Owl here yesterday. I'll see if I can get him to return a call. Mike was wearing a wide brim hat. He calls the owl and seconds later, the owl comes from the tree and takes his hat off for him.

If he wasn't wearing a hat, he probably would have been dead from blood loss.

Now "THAT"S" a bird call.

There is one confirmed death caused by owl attack in Maine and possible another in North Carolina.
