GREAT HORNED OWLS!

The Great Horned Owls is the most common owl of the Americas, easily recognizable because of the feather tufts on its head. These "plumicorns" resemble horns or, to some, catlike ears.       Owls are efficient nighttime hunters that strike from above, and use their powerful talons to kill and carry animals several times heavier than themselves. Owls prey on a huge variety of creatures, including raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, domestic birds, falcons, and other owls. They regularly eat skunks, and may be the only animal with such an appetite. They sometimes hunt for smaller game by standing or walking along the ground. Owls have even been known to prey upon unlucky cats and dogs.       Great Horned Owlss have an average life span in the wild of 5 to 15 years, have a body size of 18 to 25 in, a wingspan of 3.3 to 4.8 ft., and weigh from 2 to 5.5 lbs. They are largely nocturnal so they can be difficult to spot. But they can often be heard calling with their well known "Hoo H'hoos!"

Here Are Some Beautiful Photos Of These Birds. Enjoy! :)


A wise old owl sat on an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
~ nursery rhyme





The key to wisdom is
knowing all the right questions.
~ John A. Simone, Sr.





Wisdom is not a product of schooling
but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
~ Albert Einstein







The respect of the LORD
is the beginning of wisdom: ~ Proverbs 9:10a





I do not think much of a man
who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
~ Abraham Lincoln





Because the foolishness of God
is wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men. ~ 1 Cor.1:25
