Great Horned Owl

Great Horned Owl

The owl’s ear holes are on the sides of its head, right behind its eyes. The Great Horned Owl is also called a hoot owl. When you hear the hoo-hoo hoooo hoo-hoo sound of an owl on TV, this is the one you’re hearing. This owl eats everything: squirrels, snakes, ducks, raccoons and cats. It even eats other owls and large hawks like the Red-tailed Hawk.
