Dueling Short-eared Owls

On my way home from Sage-Grouse surveys I was able to catch a very aggressive interaction between two Short-eared Owls. They locked talons and spiraled to the ground right in front of me. I have only observed this once before between two raptors and that was two Black-chested Buzzard Eagles in early spring near Torres Del Paine National Park in southern Chile (no camera ready that time though).
