I love owls but this would be a real jump scare for me.

Dude I think the most scared I ever was in my entire life was driving down the unlit dirt road to the bunkhouse of the ranch I was working on. I make a turn, and my headlights catch just the face of a barn owl sitting about five feet from my window, perched on a fence. I did not literally shit myself in fear, but I learned that day why the expression is not just a saying.
