Owl with attitude wins face-off against U.S. deputy

"The officer asked, "Do you know who I am?" to which the owl replied, "Who?"



BOULDER, Colo. - A Boulder County sheriff's deputy got into a face-off with an owl with an attitude, and the owl won.

Deputy Sophie Berman came across the raptor on a dirt road on Tuesday as Berman patrolled an area near a campground west of Boulder.

Berman crouched down to take video of the owl and spoke to the owl, which answered Berman's words with clicks.

The owl stared wide-eyed at the deputy for a few minutes before turning around and flying away.

Sweet wee thing!

I would have told her it was dangerous to be in the middle of the road rather than just asking what's up, lol.....

We had a small owl perch in a tree near our back porch for an hour or so this past spring. I was amazed at how close it allowed us to get.

They are beautiful birds.

I think some people just wake up angry and want to bring others into their misery.

Sad.
