Bird Song of the Month March 2015
Great Horned Owl-/Bubo //virginianus/
The Great Horned owl is found all across North America in small numbers. 
Length 55.88 cm - 22 inches bill to tip of tail and wingspan of  111.76 
cm - 44 inches. The feathers on the front edges of the wings are 
serrated so that it can approach its prey silently. The  4-6 hoot 
sequence  can be remembered by the mnemonic " who's awake-me too". The 
female hoots are just a little higher pitched than her mate. At the end 
of the attached recording you will hear an alarm call and the bill 
clapping alarm.
