As we were kids... we were always curious as to why it seemed to stare at our home, but I must say at the time we did have our tree lights blinking on & off as christmas lites do. Well one night as we all watched tv and were not paying attention to the large bird across the street, "We" all us kids & mom too, heard this loud thud... right above our living room window, a bang against our home which was a brick building. well... surely you have to know that it scared the dickens out of everybody in the room and we all closed the curtains and shut off all the lights and called it a night. and my dad worked at the time, but never believed us. as he never was able to see this creature. My reason for bringing this to your attention is even to this day me and my brothers and sisters still are talking about this large Snow Owl... it was very huge., and now we're all in Our 50's and mom is in her 80's. We want to know how large do these Snow Owls get in terms of height & weight ? and could they have actually harmed us had it came through that window ? As I remember it... that Owl looked to me... to be about 2 to 3 or more feet tall, and I say that because it looked to be large even from across the street. Oh and one more thing.., during that next summer as I was cutting the lawn... I happened to stop in that area and looked above that window and there it was a splatter of blood with alittle dried trickle coming down embedded, but never did we see that bird again.
