Great Horned Owl (bubo virginianus)

The Great Horned Owl is one of the most common and widespread owls in Canada and the U.S.A.   A powerful and adaptable predator, this massive bird lives almost anywhere with trees, including forests, farmland, suburban areas and even parks and ravines in big cities.   It is one of the earliest nesting birds in North America, often laying eggs weeks or even months before other raptorial birds,   A pale form inhabits forest at the tundra's edge in central Canada.
