*** About Great Horned Owls: Known scientifically as Bubo virginianus, Great Horned Owls are among the most adaptable of North American owls, found in a variety of habitats including forests, swamps, and urban parks. Their distinct tufts of feathers, or "horns," make them one of the most recognizable owl species. These birds of prey are known for their powerful talons and deep hooting voice, which can be heard across their territory primarily during early evening or pre-dawn hours. As nocturnal hunters, they prey on a diverse diet ranging from rodents to larger mammals and birds. Their eyesight and hearing are exceptionally adapted to detect prey during night hours.
