Got attacked by Owl!

I found the attacker on the tree staring at me!

Owls were seen from time to time nearby, I previously took a photo from my window:

But I never thought I would be attacked by a owl. maybe just because he/she was in bad mood?

It happened very fast and from behind, luckily I wore a hat, but still I got some shallow lacerations on my scalp, it was still bleeding when I came home after the attack. no serious injury thanks to the hat.

I checked and found the reasons that Owl attacked people:

That said, humans are most likely to be attacked by juveniles practicing their hunting skills, playing, and exploring new territory

I think I happened to be at the right time at the right place for them to practice hunting skills….
