Much much bigger than an owl and at first all I could see was the back of the bird. She went inside to get a camera and when she came back it turned watching us, and the dogs, hungrily....
I did manage to get off one shot with the camera before it flew away, at about 60 to 80 yards, sorry for the bad shot but photography wasn't a gift to me with camera in hand....I got a close enough look at her to tell that this was one big bird, just guess it's wingspan at 4 to 5 feet when it flew away. according to what I saw and found on the internet, it looks like a Golden Eagle....anyway, some of you may know exactly what it was, certainly not a hawk, much much bigger than any hawk I have ever seen....
