GREAT
HORNED OWL

Bubo virginianus


STATUS IN NEW ENGLAND: Permanent resident

HABITAT: Wide spectrums of habitats from forests, mountains, open deserts, and suburban woodlots.

The Great Horned Owl is the most aggressive North American owl. It is the most powerful and among the largest of all owls. It uses keen night vision, but primarily uses very acute hearing to detect prey. The Great Horned Owl measures roughly 50 centimeters (20 inches) in length. It has large, staring yellow-orange eyes, bordered by an orange-buff facial disc. The plumage is beautifully marked and patterned with grays and browns. Its greatest predator is man.

I 'll wait until next weeks post then where you buy a pit bull. Micheal Vick would be on the RSPCA honours list compared with you.

I can't really argue given my pet mortallity rate. It's a good thing I wasn't named Noah in a past life.
My ark would have been like a ghost ship.
