horned owls
Ear-tufted night hunters
Horned owls are large owls with prominent feather tufts on their heads that resemble horns or ears.
The great horned owl is the most widespread owl in the Americas, a powerful nocturnal predator capable of taking prey as large as skunks and herons.
The "horns" are purely decorative—the actual ears are openings on the sides of the head.
