The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginanus)  is the most widespread of American Owls, after the Barn Owl, adaptable to all kinds of habitats from the frozen north to deserts in the Southwest, to man-made structures in populated areas.  These ferocious birds have the greatest variety of prey of any American Raptor, with over 500 species identified.  They will go for some fair sized mammals and have been known to take bobcats, fishers, minks and house cats.  In one single nest, the remains of 57 striped skunks were found.  This gallery of images and videos, shows ones in different habitats, from the blistering southwest deserts of AZ, to frigid winters of northern MN.  A rare mutant white owl is present, behavior shots of preening, feeding chicks are here.  All are available for prints, publications, websites and movies.
