Five of us were sitting at our neighbor's picnic table under a large oak around dusk 2-3 years ago. Several bats were swooping down over the cove at Sandy Point and were a little close to our table. Suddenly without a sound, we saw a swish of white as a large owl swooped down out of the tree and caught a bat not 5 feet from our neighbor's head. We couldn't believe how fast and how quiet the owl was. Really startled us.
