Gray Squirrel vs. Barred Owl

A Gray Squirrel went after Central Park’s Barred Owl this afternoon. I don’t think the owl was hurt, but it was an escalation of hostilities. The owl had gone after a baby squirrel about 30 blocks south a few days ago, so the joke of the day was did the squirrels pass the news along to their cousins?
