GHO not a fan of the Eagles

Found a pair of videos from an eagle nest cam. Their local GHO is not a fan of having their type in the neighborhood and expresses its concerns in the way owls do.

To be fair, the eagles likely return the favor during the daylight.

    There’s a reason they don’t call them “Just Okay Horned Owls”

    That’s terrific. But I am very busy as I imagine you are.

      Let me get this straight - every time a sleeping eagle is bum-rushed by an owl, I’m supposed to compensate the bird?!

    They certainly return the favor. Last year a nest cam caught a pretty spectacular eagle attack on a Great Horned Owl nest. (spoiler - the chicks were unharmed but the mother put up a spectacular fight.)
