S/he had been looking out the doorway for about 10 minutes when suddenly s/he left the box and swooped up in the tree above for a second, then flew away. We noticed something fall to the ground from the place s/he had swooped to. We went to look and it was a Dobson fly! We didn't know what it was at first and upon examination, kinda wished the owl had gotten it. Very creepy looking bug! It was so well camouflaged against the tree trunk, it goes to show that what they say about owls' night vision is true. S/he spotted it from about 25 feet away. | | Neutral | Tntigger | On Jun 26, 2008, Tntigger from Greeneville, TN
