The Lucky Bugger is ME!!!!
I was thinking of trying to meet up with the folks for the eclipse, but decided to head for some Swans instead, which were pretty much a bust. But then I found this on the way home. First one hand held leaning across the driver's seat, could be sharper but I sure didn't want to miss it. The owl could not have been more than 10-15 feet from my car. Second one sitting on the ground after backing up a bit. No crop on either. I am still amazed. And this is within just a few miles of my house. The Owl never flew, we are hoping it was not injured, I think it was just full. This is the reason to always be looking when you are just driving around.
