Thats cool, I watched a documentary on Snowy Owl's a while back and during nesting season that will dive and attack anything including a polar bear to distract it from the nest.

I have seen this behaviour with Long-eared Owls and Northern Saw-whet Owls harassing coyotes, but never as bold as this Snowy Owl.
