There are at least 5 nesting within a mile of my house, and I live within the city limits. It's just a joy seeing them float overhead. One time I was walking down the street and one came gliding along the street at eye level. I could have reached out and touched its wingtip. Wingtip to wingtip, it's gigantic. But my, the look on its face! It's a pure predator. No wonder fighter pilots like to paint eagles on their birds. I sure wouldn't want to get in a scrap with one. I had no idea how big owls were, either, until one sat on the porch railing staring at me. Glad I was bigger than the owl. It's not a good neighborhood for outdoor cats and small dogs.
