Owl got round one. Hawk came back with a vengeance.

Hawk eventually got bodied though

A pair of great horned owls have been visiting this red-tail hawk nest at the Presidio for several nights. This is the first time it's come to the nest during the day, and the first time the RTH has seen it. It didn't take kindly to the invasion and attacked it soon after it arrived. The GHO was able to fend off the RTH the first time, but in the 2nd attempt, it falls off the nest and doesn't come back....until the next day. The RTH returns to make sure all is secure. Confrontations done in real time and SloMo. NOTE: The owl comes back the next day & lays an egg, an another a few days later. There are a few minor skirmishes, but the RTH finally moves on & lets the GHO have the nest. One of its two eggs broke, but the remaining egg is due to hatch mid-March. UPDATE: The 2nd egg failed to hatch also. The owl eventually moved on.

It’s kinda funny to think about that birds will just blatantly post up in another bird’s nest and dare them to do something about it.

There’s videos all over YT of bird’s scrapping cause one tried to take over the other’s nest.

Owls and Hawks and Eagles straight up hate each other (think Lions and Hyena) and do this type of shyt all the time. Owls don't build their own nest and debo other birds for they shyt

Atlanta hawk knew he couldn't go toe to toe (literally) with Rice owl. Came back with a different strategy on some hit and run shyt, blindsided the owl and got the corner.

Just another day in the animal world.

It was probably the hawk’s nest in the first place. Owls are notorious for deeboing nests from other birds and daring them to do something about it.

Hawk spun the block back.

That hawk cry before he came through
