[Tweeters] owl attack

[Margaret Sandelin]

A friend from Lopez Island is visiting me and said either last month or 
early this month (she couldn't remember the exact time) a man on Lopez 
walking down a tree lined street had a Barred owl swoop down and rake 
his head - fortunately he was wearing a thick cap so no injury.    Would 
the owl be starting nesting this early as that seems the only likely 
reason for such an attack?
