It can catch prey larger than itself, although it eats many small animals. It primarily eats mice, voles, rats, gophers, and rabbits, and also almost anything it can catch, including ducks, other owls, snakes, and skunks. Nesting season begins in January or February. The owls advertise their territory with their hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo call. The male and female may call back and forth in a duet, with the female\u2019s call higher in pitch, although the male is smaller in size. The \u201chorns\u201d are just feather tufts. The ear openings are behind the facial disc. This owl can hear the faint sound of a mouse from far away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Great Horned Owls\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t-koYg_uQZs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">What are some of the Great Horned Owl&#8217;s nicknames?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h2 id=\"at-1730\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Click for the answer:<\/h2><div id=\"ac-1730\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Great Horned owls are also called winged tigers, feathered wildcats, and flying mousetraps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Great Horned Owl by Gregory Barham\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1021462006&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=870&#038;maxwidth=580&#038;secret_token=s-wSXYmiakfcp\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo \u00a9 Joseph Matista Quick Facts: They are the second-largest bird in North America They have acute hearing and can hear sounds from 1o miles away.
