Ugh, I was so nervous to click on this!
I'm glad it worked out for all parties involved.
Great defense posture from mamma owl!
It isn't often you see something make a GHO look kinda small.
Probably should have added a spoiler, but didn't think about it because of the good outcome.
I love how she puffs to show she means business and then just launches herself into the attack. Even though that eagle was huge, they were not going to get an easy meal!
Superb Owl material for sure.
It seems this isn't all too uncommon between these 2 species. Eagles try to pick off the owls during the day, and the GHO takes its shot at the Eagles at night. Mr Eagle got nailed 2 days in a row by this GHO.
To be fair, the GHO family is technically squatting in the eagle's nest! 😅
Mamma detects the eagle and guess into defensive poof mode.
Eagle swoops in and the wrestling begins.
