"Great-horned owls are one of North America’s largest owls. They typically weigh between 2.5 and 4.5 pounds. Baby great-horned owls are also the first babies that the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center receives every single year."

A downy Great Horned Owl chick sits on a branch and looks to the right of the photograph, while a second GHO chick sits to the right. The second chick has twisted its head almost upside down to get it within range of the needle sharp talons on one foot. One of the talons looks like it is scratching the rim of the eye itself.

Woke up to #greathornedowls, singing a haunting duet, greater yellowlegs calling their friends and the usual assortment of cardinals and carolina wrens. Couldn’t see them, didn’t need to. Its already a lovely day 🪶🪶 #sunrise
Owls on a swing in a rainstorm trying' to protect each other from the rain. Young owls have downy feathers and they don't repel water. Video taken through my window.

Top post depicts a Great Horned Owl perched at the very top of a fir tree. Bottom post talks about how Great Horned Owl tufts or horns are actually just plumes of feathers that usually come in lopsided for juvenile owls.

🦉🦉 Two Great Horned Owls came to us after tough, likely human-caused situations, one likely hit by a car, the other affected by a glue trap. Now they’re roommates in our flight enclosure, regaining strength for a return to the wild. 💚

Family time can be a real hoot.

A family of #GreatHornedOwls came to visit me every year but stopped two for 2 years. All I heard were their hoots at night but couldn’t see them. Last night, I heard them and saw them in my garden as I was about to eat a late dinner!

It always amazes me how they can stand on the skinniest of branches.

This so cool! I can hear three or four #greathornedowls calling in different directions. Also saw a coyote amble by, uninterested. Wild in the city. I wonder if these are the fledglings I saw a few weeks ago. #sanfrancisco

And that is an extraordinarily impressive hand to talk to. Even baby talons can be threatening. 🦉🤎🤍🖤💛
