Folly hath eagle’s wings, but the eyes of an owl
Folly hath eagle’s wings, but the eyes of an owl.
A Dutch proverb
Great Horned Owl: Have you seen this bird?
Great Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus, is a large owl native to the Americas.
It is quite an adaptable bird and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas.
Identification Tips:
• Length: 20 inches Wingspan: 55 inches
• Sexes similar
• Very large owl with prominent ear tufts
• Yellow eyes and dark bill
• Upperparts mottled brown, gray, and black
• Pale underparts with fine brown bars
• Reddish-brown facial disks bordered by black with a lower border of white
• White throat patch
• Pale gray form inhabits northern Canada
Similar species:
Only the Long-eared Owl shares the red facial disks and prominent ear tufts, but is much smaller and slenderer, is barred and streaked on the belly, lacks the white throat, and has its ear tufts set closer together.
The Great Horned Owl has a wide range and a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas.
Owls have spectacular binocular vision allowing them to pinpoint prey and see in low light. The eyes of Great Horned Owls are nearly as large as those of humans.
An owl’s hearing is as good – if not better – than its vision; they have better depth perception and better perception of sound elevation (up-down direction) than humans.

Elf Owl: Have you seen this bird?
Elf Owl
The Elf Owl (Micrathene whitneyi) is a member of the owl family Strigidae.
It breeds in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is the world’s second smallest owl, the first being a Pygmy owl.
Identification Tips:
• Length: 5.25 inches Wingspan: 15 inches
• Very small, nocturnal, predatory bird
• Large, rounded head
• Yellow eyes
• Brown upperparts with white spots
• Brown and gray breast with white belly
• Sexes similar
• Inhabits the southwestern United States
Similar species:
The Elf Owl can be told from other owls by its small size, yellow eyes, short tail and by voice.
To reproduce they choose an abandoned woodpecker cavity and the female lays 3 round white eggs. They raise their young in north-facing woodpecker cavities in Saguaro cacti, sycamores, cottonwoods and other hardwood trees.
Elf Owls feed mainly on insects and therefore occupy habitats with a ready supply of these. Elf owls are known to eat scorpions, even though they are poisonous. They probably cut off their tails before they eat them.
If you expect to soar with the eagles during the day, you can’t hoot with the owls at night.

The Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, also known in some North American regions as the Turkey Buzzard or “buzzard”, is a bird found throughout most of the Americas. One of three species in the genus Cathartes, in the family Cathartidae.
It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets, each year generally raising two chicks, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators. In the USA, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
A believer is a bird in a cage, a freethinker is an eagle parting the clouds with tireless wing.
