[Maine-birds] owl attack

I had a text from a Bar Harbor resident about being attacked by an owl yesterday. Their text paraphrased:

 

"I was walking with a hoodie on. From behind, an owl hit my head and knocked me down! Then attacked again getting some cuts on my head."

 

I think of this behavior as territorial during breeding season, not so much during the fall. Anyone have some thoughts on this?
