Bicycling home I suddenly saw a large, predatory bird swoop into tree just in front of me and land on a branch. The way it swooped in I first thought it could be an owl. But I looked up and, even though it was getting dark I could see enough of its outline to notice that its head was not shaped like an owl. The head seemed dark, almost black.
I stopped on my bicycle, along the side of the road, and looked up at it. It noticed me and was looking right down at me. I could see its eyes through the darkness.
It then flew off into the distance.
Very cool bird. Probably hunting other baby birds since its that season.
