If you were ever out camping in the woods and decided to play hide and seek, the Great Horned Owl is one animal who’d beat you every time. This master of disguise blends right into the holes of the trees they call home, their brown coloring fading into bark. They have distinctive ear tufts that rise a couple of inches above their head, black, pointed beaks, and yellow, piercing eyes.
These owls are nocturnal and hunt at night for small prey like rodents and scorpions, to prey as large as themselves, like Ospreys, Peregrine Falcons, and even other owls. They use their razor sharp talons to sever the spines of their prey. Their famous hoots (hoo-hoo-HOO, hoo, hoo) echo through the air at night when males and females call to each other.
Fun fact: American Crows sometimes gather to harass Great Horned Owls for hours at a time, trying to scare off or kill the dangerous predator.
