I Almost Hit An Owl!

I leave for work ridiculously early, meaning, it's still dark out.

Yesterday, I was driving on the highway, which consists of two lanes going North, and two lanes going South, when suddenly from out of nowhere, comes this owl headed straight for my windshield!

I swerved a little, ( there was no other traffic), when at the last possible moment, the owl finally pulled up, and flew over my car.

I was like, "Dam owl! That's why you have wings! It's easier for you to avoid me, than it is for me to avoid you!"

That owl was huge!

And here I thought that owls were supposed to be "wise"! *lol*

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

Glad neither of you were hurt. Well, if you weren't " Up and At 'em" before, You were after! What a way to start the Morning!

The owl probably got caught up in the draft created by your oncoming car at highway speed. Lucky for both of you! I have only seen an owl once. Can't miss it! They are very large.

Glad you're okay. That would have been horrible for both of you.

Years ago my daughter had a hawk fly right into her car grill! He died on impact and she literally had to drive to the mechanic so he could help her remove it. She was really shaken up by it, she was about 19 at the time.

Wow, that had to be scary. Thankfully, it didn't cause you to have an accident. Who would have thought an owl would be on the highway?

A few years ago, a wild turkey flew into the windshield of our car while my husband was driving. It hit on the passenger side where I was sitting. My husband was calm, but I almost had a heart attack.

I am glad I wasn't driving. Things like that unnerve me.

We have wild bunnies all over the area where I live and those.......things dart and zig zag at the last minute---and I did hit one once that made me cry-----DUMB BUNNIES !!!!!! My hubs got run into by a duck on his way to work one a.m.------and then there are the deer that feel the need to jump into traffic too---that is really scary---seen that happen up ahead of me but was able to avoid it.
