Default Owl in the headlights

I worked at a provincial park years ago as a park ranger. One of my jobs was to patrol the roads and campsites to make sure people weren't partying too heartily and keeping other campers awake. One of the loops was the furthest away from the gates, so we tended to assign it last. So it was the least peopled of the 5 or 6 loops. One night I had just turned the corner to creep around the gravel in first gear at low rpms, when a huge white flash appeared in the windshield. In a second I realized it was a Great Horned Owl flying at about 6' range.
