Hawks if in a tree or sitting somewhere you can see them and maybe get close to them, the hawk ( if you get close enough) will fly away. An owl is a different story, they will sit in a tree with you being right under them, then when giving the chance they will swoop down and grab their prey. They will take what they can get, and waste what they don’t eat. I’m not sure how accurate this guy is, but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

I have to say, I think I have read the same article. Also, it seems that you can almost see what a hawk is thinking but an owl will strike without giving any indication that's what is about to happen. Please do be careful! Eagles are to be feared when you have a small pup too!
