I've seen hawks do that a few times, but that was the only owl I've ever seen take a rabbit.

For several years there was a big Red Tail Hawk that would show up when I started running the bush hog in the grown up fields. He would just sit in a tree and wait as the unmown patches got smaller because he knew that sooner or later the rabbits would start to make a break for it!

Pretty awesome to watch it snag a rabbit

No? Guy in a replica just died flying one. Estrella Warbirds Museum is WWII and up stuff. I'll have to look around. Paso airport is a few miles from us. I can see the rotating light at night.
