This is the full version of the "shorts" video I published this morning. Video opens with the first Barred Owl strike on Wichita, slo-mo, followed by normal time. The second strike follows. Next is Wichita reacting to what they see/hear; there is a four second cam skip, so it is unknown what happened during that time. Based on behavior of Wichita and Ellie, this does not appear to be a strike (but it is unknown). It may have been a fly-by or swoop.
The next section is just watching the behavior of the eagles while one, then two, owls vocalize close by. Things seem to quiet down, then Ellie vocalizes. Harvey is next to her, and he flaps/reacts to what is out of view. This may have been a swoop/strike/fly-by/loss of footing (unknown). Video closes with Ellie, then Harvey, leaving to start their day. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part. Wichita is 72 days old, Cheyenne is 70 days old, on 6-1-24.

Poor baby. It was a bad night. It's good that the owl didn't scratch the baby and didn't throw him out of the nest. Take care! Blessings. Thanks for your video! Thank farmer Derek so much. ❤

@ceegee777. The owls are just trying to protect their owl little family. They share the same territory, and this behavior, trying to knock eagles off their perch, is an effort to get the eagles to leave. It won’t work, but that is how they try to protect their offspring. They are not as powerful as Great Horned Owls, which we see use the same tactic.
Gnarly thankfully the eaglet was ok ty for the video
Thanks I appreciate you posting! Glad all is well❤🦅🥰

Poor baby, those are razor sharp claws. 🙏
I didn’t see that one. Horrible! I’m happy Wichita was fine.

不喜愛貓頭鷹來打擾雛鳥。 喔 那是什麼聲音？😮
Wow … do the owls have a nest with chicks near by? Really aggressive behavior by the owl…

@theck672. The owls are nesting nearby and have fledglings, based on behavior. They are territorial, and this is also their territory. Owls use a two-footed push to try to knock eagles off their perch spot in an effort to get them to leave. They are simply trying to protect their own family. We saw Great Horned Owls scouting this nest early season, so they also share the territory. The Great Horned Owl is a bigger, more powerful owl than the Barred Owl.

@@androcat12 thank you for the information… competition for resources and protecting their young… makes sense… wild animals really have a lot of struggles…
That baby gonna grow up and not forget that transgression. The eagle owl war is a brutal one. In the day the eagle rules the sky. At night the owl runs supreme. I pray those eagles make it. We ain’t got many here.

OP Potato. You are right. Eagles and owls have always shared territory, and have always had interactions. Barred Owls are not much of a threat to the eagles. They strike to try to knock eagles off their perch, an effort to protect their own young. They don’t try to take over the eagle’s nest, and are not as powerful as Great Horned Owls. The strikes are always hard to watch, whichever species is involved. 🙏🏻
