The man dive bombed by the owl on Lopez was my husband. It was Dec 20, at about 4pm, as it was getting dark. The day had been rainy, and just cleared. He's seen this or another barred owl at this spot quite a few times before. A couple of weeks before this incident, another walker was attacked at the same spot. A week or so ago the (or a) barred owl was perched on a power line near this spot and just looked at him as he walked by.

I recently visited South Texas to chase several ABA Rarities.? I was successful in observing the first in U.S. Bat Falcon, mega rarity Social Flycatcher and Golden Crowned Warbler.? Dipped on Hook Billed Kite.? Flights were bad and the weather was worse but pleased with the birds and met some great birders.

Here is the link to the Blog Post.? Lots of photos.
