"So there I was on the ground. I could see the silhouette, up against the sky of the breaking dawn and it was very clear to me, it was an owl." A few days later Parks came across the owl again and was able to snap a few photos. He said the owl is about two-feet tall, between 10-20 pounds, and with a wing span of at least five-feet. "I could see in his eyes when I was taking his photographs of him, he had no fear of humans," Parks said. "He's a true beast."
Bean said the owl perched on a nearby roof with his hat and iPod and the two stared each other down. Later, his wife searched the neighborhood for his belongings. "She was able to find the hat a little while later on her run about one street over, but no iPod," Bean said, who will now do his morning runs elsewhere. The neighborhood is worried. The owl is clearly territorial. "I'm horrified when I run," Parks said. "When I come across the street into owl country, I say a couple of prayers and hope he's not going to get me."
