Last year I went bird watching at the Malheur Field Station in
South-East Oregon.  There were two Great Horned Owls sitting in a
tree just beside the road.  I was able to get within fifty feet of
them, and focus a Questar telescope on them.  I could look right
at their great big eyes as they were looking right at me.
They were very calm the whole time, and I left before they did.
They truly are magnificent.
