Driving east on HWY 48 just past the carpet store, In Virginia, I saw a great Grey owl, perched low to the ground on a tree branch. Even my stopping did not bother him. I sat for almost 15 minutes watching him. Directions: just follow hwy 48 east through Virginia, he is sitting next to the last drive way near the open field on the North side of the road.
