Default Slow motion owl

Very cool in full screen mode, and no, it's not a halloween prank.

That is really cool! Why did they stop the video instead of showing the capture?

Lot of people don't know, but an owl flies completely silent. I've been at the "Birds of Prey" demo at Callaway Gardens and had an owl fly within a foot of my head with no sound, amazing.

Amazing video of an Amazing creature.

I wish I still had my pictures of the pair of great horned owl that lived in my Grandpa's barn; so so so cool.

You haven't lived until you have one buzz your head while varmint calling at night. You never hear them until they identify you and peel off at the last minute. One of our deer hunters was wearing a stocking cap with a ball on top about dawn one morning and an owl grabbed the stocking cap. Ruined his whole day
