I live up in the Pacific Northwest and usually up really early, as I sit and drink my coffee, I get an owl start screeching and howling....but I have never seen an owl in the years I have been up here....although, I was riding my Harley early and as I was following the curves on the road, only once did an owl swoop down, tried grabbing my helmit and flew off into the trees....it was dark and all I seen was a dark shadow.

thats awesome!! terrifying while riding, but an awesome story non the less! i'm up in the PNW as well, there's a few spots up here where the Short Eared Owls migrate through some Land Trusts for the county. send me a message and i'll forward on some of my favorite spots (all well known by locals). My favorite spot you can watch the short eared owls and harrier hawks duke it out and battle over moles and mice from the farm fields. one year we all watched as a coyote jumped up after an owl after it caught its lunch. Surprisingly all this happens throughout the day from morning till night.
