They'll adapt to whatever prey in the area is easiest. They don't do that here because they get hunted with dogs, so they tend to associate dogs with trouble as opposed to organically fed clueless local fido.

We get Great Horned owls here in our river valley (normal prey skunks and showshoe hares) that have adapted quite nicely to housecats, discovering that when fluffy is let outside to wander the neighborhood and take a dump in the neighborhood flower beds he/she is much less likely to keep situational awareness of what's above than a showshoe hare.... And once they do that the owl tends to go exclusively for cats.. and teaches it's offspring...
