i was just standing in my backyard talking on the phone (its a nice night out, and i was just enjoying it), and something flew out of the tree next to me. It had a wingspan of 3-4 feet, and flew away from me (thank god). i dont know what the hell it was. I think it must have been an owl, but didnt know we had them around here. Im in a decent sized city, and surrounded by other residences- not country land around.... think it was an owl, or what the hell did i see?
