Great horned Owl
Bubo virginianus
37.0293, -121.063
Field Notes
Description:
Large owl with long ear tufts. Mottled brown/gray and fine barring in chest. Deep hooting sound. These large owls are great predators and can take down an animal slightly larger then itself.
Habitat:
Spotted this in a Eucalyptus tree in a camp ground.
Notes:
While looking for something else I heard the hooting. Then what pointed me in the right direction was many Anna's Hummingbirds harassing it. Red-tail hawks and these Great horned Owls are about the only predator to skunks.
