Great Horned Owl

The Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus, also known as the Tiger Owl, is a large owl native to the Americas. It is an adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas.
The Magellanic Horned Owl (B. magellanicus) of the southern South America (extending north to the central Andes) is frequently included as a subspecies of this species too.
