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”
what are you a fucking park ranger now?
Great Horned Owl says This will not stand, man.
Move bitch, get out the way, get out the way bitch, get out the way!
Hey, you don’t like my nest? Get your own fuckin’ tree! Get the hell out my tree!
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.)
