Do you think it is bad luck when an owl hits the window?

So we had something very interesting hit the window last night. I have seen little birds hit the window, but we had an owl hit the living room window last night. Holy Crap, the bang was loud! I’m actually surprised that it didn’t break the window.
So he knocked himself out (who wouldn’t be when flying into a window.) Shawn and I went rushing outside to see if he was dead or not. When we got to the front deck his eyes were open but he closed them shortly after that.

Thinking that he was dead, Shawn picked him up by the legs and took him into the house for everyone else to have a closer look at him. I guess the minute the warm air hit him he started to move around. So we took him back outside. Shawn set him on the deck and the owl fell over. But after a little bit he sat up in a little ball. Shawn picked him up so I could take a couple of pictures, the owl started to wake up so Shawn went to set him on the boat so nothing would attack him, and he flew right out of Shawn’s hands! His flight was a little wobbly but he made it to one of the trees.

This morning Shawn was going to go see if he was still alive in the tree, and the owl was perched on top of the shed. When I got up a couple of hours later, he was gone so it looks like he is going to live to see another night of hunting.

Shawn figures he was trying to catch one of the cats through the window, I think he probably got disorientated, who knows...
