Great Horned Owl

Cards are listed on Etsy.
They can be personlized and other card stock may be available, as is the case for most of my cards.
The Great Horned Owl is one of the most well know owls in the US. The name owl comes from the word “ule” which means to howl.  They are about 1.5 feet- 2 feet Females are larger than males Owls have acute
hearing and vision. They can blink but their eyes do not move around. In order to see moving objects an owl must move its entire head around to view it. Luckily they can move their head about ¾ of the way around on each side (which amounts to almost all the way around. They are very important in the control of rodents and insects.
