Thanks for rubbing  it in. Better his talons stuck in the  snow a few minutes 
than going after me.  I am told one of these beasties around Salisbury 
(probably  this one is a she) was seen taking out a good sized duck and in 
general these owls can take out  even moderate sized geese.

 I recall getting dive bombed by an owl ( top of head scratched)  when bringing 
in luggage  from the car into a wonderful cottage we rented outside of Hobart 
at about 9PM.  Marnie didn't want to run interference for me while I retrieved  
the rest of the luggage.  Would have deemed it worth it, if could have had a 
good image out of the deal.  No clue what type it was.
