Two nights ago, I (again) sat in a meadow at sunset, and saw three owls circle around me. I was with a small team of students, and we all basically said: "Golly, this is cool!" This time there was nothing (that I know of) that might have been a trigger. No talk of God or my mother's mortality.
For reasons unknown, I have seen a lot of owls this summer. I spend a lot of time outside in terrain with owls, and this undoubtedly adds to my ability to see owls - but SO many?Am I making too much out of something that might be perfectly mundane?
My question to anyone out there: Has anyone ever seen adult owls in groups of three (or five)?
More owl stories here & here.

One more story: About 5 years ago I saw two Barred owls in the mountains near my house. They followed me at sun set as I walked along a trail. They would fly to a tree, watch me pass by, and then fly to the next tree and continue watching me as I walked along my path.

I've seen owls... but never more than one at a time.
Maybe you should just change your aftershave? :-P
I've never seen an owl in the wild, but I live in Manhattan!
I enjoy your blog.
Stuck my head out the door last night at around 2am while letting the dogs out, and heard that familiar call. I've heard that call a few times this past while at around the same time of night but haven't seen anything though.
I lived in Manhattan for 10 years, and I saw lots of owls. I would see them perched on the ledges of buildings.
Alas, they were all plastic.
HAHA oh yeah I see the PLASTIC ones hahaha.
I also have been inspired by your blog to try to remember my dreams again, which I have not done for years. I don't sleep outside when I do this, however, as people might step on me or the cops might haul me in.
If owls are messengers, then whatever the message is with that sighting of 3 should be especially important. We have burrowing owls in Floria, with which I've had several experiences, but never with more than one at a time.
I hear owls quite often outside my house at night,but rarely catch site of any.
Crows to me are like owls to you,they're always around me,but rarely more than two at a time.
Maybe they just see me as a future meal.-)
