Great Horned Owl

Beaumont Birdie Passport

EDISON

Birthdate: February 11
Male
Currently Resides:  Edison Museum

With huge yellow eyes, this powerful predator has some intimating looks,
And on its head, the two feathered tufts make him the quintessential owl of storybooks.
At night, soft feathers help him fly quietly of prey in pursuit, 
However, he does advertise his territory with a deep soft hoot.

Did you know? The Great Horned Owl is found in practically all habitats in North America, from swamps to deserts to northern coniferous forest near tree line.
