Some do. Great Horned Owls, for example, can be quite aggressive if their nest site is approached during the breeding season, which typically begins sometime between January and March. Eastern Screech Owls will also somtimes swoop at people who venture too close to a nesting or roosting site, and they're commonly found in rural and suburban areas.
