For two reasons. First, logging of their forest home. Second, an invasion of their area by a relative, the barred owl, Strix Varia.
Yes there are endangered owls. Just to name a few Burrowing Owl, Ground Owl, Northern Spotted Owl, Pygmy Owl, Barn Owl. The barn owl, pygmy owl, and burrowing owls are not endangered species, but listed "least concern" by the IUCN Redlist.
The only two I know of are (Northern) Spotted Owl and Barred Owl. They create the Sparred Owl.

Barred owls eat them, they also kick them out of their home and sometimes mate with them, they are a reason why the northern spotted owl is endangered
