Mid-air fіɡһt between owl and hawk саᴜɡһt on camera in Skagit County

A territorial dispute between a hawk and an injured owl has played out in a dramatic encounter in a tree. The hawk was looking for a place to perch and spotted an injured owl on a branch.

The hawk attacked the owl and forced it to fly away, claiming the tree for itself. The injured owl, unable to defend itself, was forced to find a new home.

While this incident may seem cruel, it is a natural occurrence in the animal world. Animals must fight for territory, food, and mates in order to survive.

It is a reminder that nature can be brutal, but it is also beautiful in its own way.

This encounter serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of birds of prey and a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural habitats and ecosystems that support them.
