The Great Horned Owl
■ Great Horned Owls are one of the largest of North American owls - about the size of a Red-tailed Hawk.
■Found from the Arctic tundra to the tropical rainforest, from the desert to suburban backyards, the Great Horned Owl is one of the most widespread and common owls in North America.
■The Great Horned Owl is the only animal that regularly eats skunks.
■The Great Horned Owl is a regular victim of harassment from flocks of American Crows. Crows congregate from long distances to mob owls, and may continue yelling at them for hours. The enmity of the crows is well earned; however, as the owl is probably the most important predator on adult crows and nestlings.
