Observation details

DEC winter raptor survey. Known location. Two owls present. Light facial disk with dark eye, white middle v of face. Tawny wing patches, dark wrists, moth-like flight. Photos. One lighter than the other. Possible pair, though they didn't interact that I saw. One owl got into a conflict with an AMCR. The crow seemed to start it, but the SEOW was taking no crap and turned the tables, going after the crow. is that aggressive behavior territoriality for possible breeding?
