can owls attack you
Most aggressive behavior from owls (barred owls and great horned owls are the most often reported) is motivated by defense of their territory or young, or their search for handouts. In winter owls establish territories, build nests, and rear young.arred owls have been swooping down on people in Seattle-area parks. A ranger at Bridle Trails State Park in Kirkland, Mary Welborn, says people have been clawed enough to draw blood in a handful of incidents. King County has closed parts of the Soaring Eagle regional park in Sammamish because of similar attacks.
