The Great Horned Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
~ Author Unknown

The great horned owl also known as the tiger owl or the hoot owl, is a large owl native to the Americas. The most powerful of the common owls, it is a stunning creature. Its big, yellow eyes are often compared to those of a cat, and are amplified by an orange facial disk outlined in black.

The Great Horned Owl is a fierce hunter that prefers the sit-and-wait approach. Watching from a perch above, the owl will quietly swoop down on passing prey and seize its meal. The talons of this owl can extend to a size of 4x8 inches and can close down on its prey with the force of almost thirty pounds. Its wing feathers are comb-like with a soft fringe that helps reduces the sound of air rushing through them; as such the Great Horned Owl is more apt to glide than flap its wings. Such a maneuver makes it almost impossible for prey to hear it advance.

The owls in this book were photographed at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Vittoria, Ontario, Canada, at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, near Tucson, Arizona USA and also at Bearizona, near Williams, Arizona.

Please visit my website to see many more pictures of the wonderful wildlife that I am privileged to photograph. All photographs are for sale in various formats.
