I once had a Barred Owl dive at me when I was running, 
trying to reach camp before dark. His shadow attracted my atten- 
tion, and looking up I saw him balance on spread wings not >’ar 
Above a®y head, his claws drawn close up to his body. w hen I look- 
ed up he lighted within a few feet of me. The -oarreri Owl can 
see but poorly in the day time and it was quite light when this 
bird approached me.
