OWL ATTACK CLOSE-RARE VIEW NEST OWLETTS SWOOP

Views of Great Horned Owl. Rare view of owl nest with two owlets. Owletts are active and shown eating prey. The owls shown are wild and under natural conditions. The mother owl's "horns," or ear tufts, are visible, but the owletts do not have them yet.

Another version of this video showing the owl with a captured rabbit can be seen at:

Shows flying owl making nighttime swoop. They are nighttime predators.

Also shows owl attack on rabbit. Rabbit is injured. I watched two birds (think they were owls) fly away from a rabbit they had attacked. Didn't have time to film them leaving. The rabbit was injured and I don't know whether it survived. Later that day I found what I think is one of the same birds. It was still surrounded by crows, as it was when it left. I filmed the bird. It looked like an owl Owls are harassed by crows as this one was. They eat young crows.

The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) is a large native of the Americas. It can be up to 27 inches long, have a wingspan of over 60 inches, and weigh over 3 pounds. Owls have amazing binocular vision under low light conditions. Their hearing is acute and they have good depth perception. They can pin point the horizontal and vertical direction of a sound. They hunt by night and sometimes emit a horrible-sounding noise when they make a kill.

Am I missing something here? I've watched the entire video and did not see anyone harming the owls. So, why are there so many people leaving threatening and abusive comments? Please...enlighten me. I'd love to know. Thanks.

@pinds83 I have no idea. No owls were harmed - they were protected. When one fell out of the nest, a tall lift was used to put it back in the nest. This was expensive.

fucker! hope an owl eye gauges your eyes out and then skull fuckyou!

[IrenaScott]

@xXF18DarkOWLXx No owls were in any way harmed in this video. In fact, when an nestling fell out of the nest an expensive lift was brought in and it was placed back in.

r u from ohio if so can you tell me some roosting spots?

[IrenaScott]

This was near Westerville (near Cleveland Avenue and west of Otterbein College). They didn't nest there again and I don't know of nesting spots now.
