I hit an owl tonight

So the wife and kids and I were driving through the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights, and out of nowhere a giant owl swoops down out of a tree and SMACK straight in to the front of my truck.
I immediately stopped and got out and the poor thing was just lying there motionless in the grass. It was HUGE. I didn't touch him because I didn't want my face ripped off.
So I decided to drive off because there was really nothing to do unfortunately.
I was incredibly upset after that, and decided I had to go back by and do something.
Well, right as I'm pulling up I see him/her/they(?) standing in the middle of the road. As I got a little closer it jumped up and flew into a tree.
I guess it is going to be okay and was just stunned. I was going to be incredibly upset if it was dead because it was beautiful.

Owls are quite resilient - i.e. OWLVIS.

You should have finished the job when you had the chance. An owl never forgets.

On first read, I thought you hit on an owl.

I had the same experience once. They get hit pretty often. Beautiful animals. You did right not to mess with them.

Damn. First the stroke now this. Poor guy can’t catch a break.

Pulling up to the hunting lease before daylight there was one sitting in the road that didn’t move as I passed. Went back and looked at it and it was bloody on one side of his face from getting hit. Shoved him off the road with a stick and went hunting. Came out and it was gone. A week or two later I came out of the woods after dark in the evening, and there was a single eye shining in my head light. It was the owl, now one-eyed, sitting on the sign-in board. But he made it
