Nearly scalped by an owl near Kerry Park

Per the title. Was out running at 5.15am this morning and had just passed Kerry Park on Highland Drive heading west in Queen Anne when I felt something yank my head back violently. I thought some guy had run up behind me and grabbed my head by the hair. I wasn’t running particularly fast, but it was strong enough to stop me in my tracks. Whelped and turned around to see a large owl swooping away. Beautiful creature, just would have preferred to meet on better terms. No blood, just a scratch and a few missing hairs. Learned my lesson: don’t run in the dark. Maybe just don’t run.
