begs the question.........................
Is there a Terrible Horned Owl, a Good Horned Owl or a Not-So-Great Horned Owl?

Ha!
We have a long-eared owl, a short-eared owl, and the great horned owl.

Lots of others too. The tiny ones are fine and kind of cute. (And don't eat chickens).

I like the little Northern Saw-whet owl, and the Boreal Owl. Those are fine and safe.
 
I was looking for the video on youtube but after searching for it, either its not on there, or I have it wrong. I did find a video where an eagle took down a deer on camera so I think I mis- remembered.
There are other videos showing owls taking down other animals. Sorry. My mistake.

I had to slow this one down to .25 speed and still couldn't get a good look at the owl. (owl will come in from the far left of the picture..it's just a blur and I think there were 2 of them, one after another)

I had one attack my truck one night.
He didn't survive and I found him in the bed of the truck the next morning.
