I came upon an owl, back near the end of July, sitting on the yellow line on Severance Road in Tuftonboro. I was returning home around 9 PM after having attended a lecture at Castle in the Clouds. It was a very large owl and had been feasting on road kill. I stopped after seeing something was in the road and then realized it was an owl; it just sat and stared me down---probably protecting it's dinner. After a few moments, it flew off into some nearby bushes but didn't fly any higher than about 8 feet above the road. I can see how they could be easy to hit if people are not paying attention ahead of them. I feel certain that it went back to eating in the road once I passed by.
