"Cross-country skiers who set out on a crisp, moonlit night for a peaceful outing in Bangor's city forest are being targeted by a least one ornery and territorial owl. Over the past three weeks, at least eight skiers and a few romping dogs apparently have fallen victim to a great horned owl that swoops down from a tree with talons outstretched and smacks them on the head."

I ski there routinely but have not had the pleasure of meeting the owl yet.

We had a ski race starting through that area a couple weeks ago and I didn't hear any complaints or see any attacks.

I think the snowshoers walking on our ski tracks are a much bigger nuisance
