Two and half tall feet maybe? It was an awesome experience Zach. He literally stood still while I got within 30′ of him. He finally got bored with me and flew off without making a sound. They are really amazing birds. One other cool Owl encounter I had was when I was fishing below Tim’s Ford Dam with a nesting pair in a hollowed out tree just above me. I saw one adult Owl feeding another adult Owl a mouse. I guess the one being feed was stuck at home babysitting. I didn’t have my camera and I should be shot for leaving it that day.
I am starting to get a real itch for that D70 Zach. I might give you a call soon and let you help me take the plunge. Maybe you need to upgrade soon??? 😉
