> ""SOCCER OWL" ON THE AIR
>  
> In early June, during a televised soccer match between Finland and Belgium,
> and after about 15 minutes of the start of the game, a huge Eagle Owl flew
> onto the field and landed on one of the goal posts. The game was stopped for
> seven minutes because the owl was sitting on the field and eventually on
> both goal posts. It also gently cruised around the field, as you can see on
> the posted video-clip. Apparently, the owl had a nest somewhere in the
> stadium. The video is in Finnish, and the audience is heard shouting,
> "Huuhkaja! Huuhkaja,"meaning "Eagle Owl, Eagle Owl," as the owl is sitting
> on the crossbars goal. Check it out:
