We heard at a presentation about eagles that when they build a nest and then migrate, the great horned owls will use the nest first, since they nest in February, and the eagles will use it when the owls are done. They told us about some eagles here in Minnesota that would come back in the spring, and if they owls weren't done yet, they would just hang around and wait. Maybe Minnesota owls are more passive aggressive, just like Minnesotans.

Bald Eagles, like most diurnal birds, see poorly in nighttime darkness, so even if they were awake, they would be nearly defenseless against large owls engaging in swooping attacks. Most large owls see and hunt very well in the daytime, but favor dusk and nighttime hunting, when their favored rodent and lagomorph (rabbits, hares) prey is also most active. They are also less likely to be attacked and harassed by diurnal birds of prey if they hunt at dusk or at night. There is a reason why Great Horned Owls engage in flying attacks on large dangerous adversaries such as eagles and Humans; this reduces risks to the owls themselves. You've probably seen the video of a female Great Horned Owl grappling with a Red Tailed Hawk over a nest; the hawk tried a swooping attack on the sitting owl, but the owl defended herself and the nest (hijacked from the Red Tails) by presenting her talons at the last moment to the swooping hawk. There is also a video of a Northern Barred Owl engaging in a suicidal attack on a male Bald Eagle (smaller and less aggressive than his mate) sitting on his nest in full daylight.

This is wild!

My world view just got turned upside down!

Great horned owls don't build their own nests but usually take unused nests of large raptors. And if the eagle has not laid eggs the great horned owl has a better chance of driving the eagle out and taking over the nest.

"Here's your tax, you *SON of a--!"*

Owls routinely bully eagles so this is not surprising at all.

It is true that there is a video of an owl attacking the eagle, but it can only attack the eagle at night when it is sleeping and is not super.
