Description
A great horned owl is perched among the dense branches of a pine tree, surrounded by lush green needles and pine cones. The owl's sharp gaze and intricate feather patterns are highlighted amidst the natural setting. Found almost throughout North America and much of South America is this big owl. Aggressive and powerful in its hunting (sometimes known by nicknames such as 'tiger owl'), it takes prey as varied as rabbits, hawks, snakes, and even skunks, and will even attack porcupines, often with fatal results for both prey and predator. Great Horned Owls begin nesting very early in the north, and their deep hoots may be heard rolling across the forest on mid-winter nights.
