Another close encounter.
Some of the orchards I dry with my helicopter in Washington state have resident owls. This is great for the orchardist — owls kill and eat the smaller birds that feed on cherries. Unfortunately, owls tend to wait until the last minute to take flight when I’m flying over.
Today, I happened to have my GoPro mounted and running and I captured this encounter. (It’s more impressive in HD, so click that button when you play it if you have the bandwidth to support it.)
And no, I’ve never hit one. (At least not that I know of.)

Wow, lucky bird.
We are having thunderstorms in Seattle today, Perhaps you’ll be flying again soon.
No doubt! We’ve been having T-storms daily. Last night was incredible — 2 hours of rain, thunder, and lightning.
In western Washington, an owl once swooped over my head during an early-morning run. It was a bit frightening at the moment, but pretty cool when you think about it.
