"The Great Horned Owl is the largest owl found throughout most of North America. Adult owls are between 18 and 24 inches from head to tail and can have a wing span of more than 4 feet. Their long ear tufts and cryptic coloration enable them to remain well hidden during the day, often out of sight of sharp-eyed diurnal raptors and eagle-eyed birders. Through more than 130 photographs and illustrations, take an in-depth look into the life of this very impressive and formidable bird. Explore the owls' food habits, nesting sites, how they raise their young, and the rehabilitation of injured owls. The one-of-a-kind photographs and comprehensive descriptions make this a must-have treasure to be enjoyed by all ages. It is sure to become the go-to reference on the Great Horned Owl."--Page 4 of cover.

Roosting in tall branches, the great horned owl owns the night. With giant eyes that take up much of its skull, the owl can see well enough at night to catch a mouse over great distance. This common hunter can be heard at night, hooting to other owls with two horn-like feathered tufts on the sides of its head. With full-color photographs and approachable text, this book shows readers how this owl lives and hunts for its prey in even the darkest night.
