Not 'owl-lone' in Rome: Maine woman says owl visits her every day

For the last two weeks, a woman from Rome, Maine says what looks like a barred owl has been visiting her every day.

ROME, Maine — For the last two weeks, a woman from Rome, Maine says what looks like a barred owl has been visiting her every day.

Jody Marie Knight has affectionately named the owl Eddie. 

Knight says about a week after her uncle passed away Eddie showed up to her home in Rome. The owl spends a couple of hours every day looking over her yard and then takes off. 

"When they take off to fly the wingspan is amazing. I was shoveling last week it flew right over my head and blew my hair," Knight says. 

Valerie Page captured this owl in Biddeford Monday.
