This happened to me last year during barred owl nesting season. (Barreds are the owls most likely to be out during the day.) The second time I tried to pass the same tree, the owl flew out to meet me, clopping her beak ferociously. Apparently they're fairly harmless, but dang--that was scary.
The best advice I got about it was to carry an umbrella when I walked past the owl tree.
