When you no longer give a hoot. 🦉 By owl means. Take the picture. The largest of the “tufted” owls in North America, the Great Horned Owl’s face is dominated by the large tufts, also known as “horns” or “plumicorns, (sounds magical) yellow eyes, and white throat patch. Their large feet are feathered to the ends of the toes. What’s for dinner? Great horned owls are carnivores that hunt at night and prey on skunks, hares, rats, mice, voles, raptors, crows, and other creatures. (sounds ominous.) They usually swallow their prey whole then regurgitate pellets of undigestible bones, fur, and feather about 6 to 10 hours later. Second dinner? Not really into leftovers. Later kids in middle school will dissect these owl pellets to identify the tiny bones and learn more about the owl's diet. It’s a hoot.
