Great Horned Owls (GHOs aka "Pudgy")
26 videos • 29 views • by Hoot House Project Great Horned Owls are quite a bit bigger than barn owls like Hootie and Winkler. They are also much more viscous. While they have been known to prey on barn owls, they generally prefer other types of prey. But they will end up preying on anything that's available, as long as they can fly off with it. Great Horned Owls live in the general area of the Hoot House. We see them stop by the owls box at times. Much to Hootie's and Winkler's dislike. The GHOs have also shown considerable interest in the platform nest used by the red-tailed hawks. At one point, the GHOs seemed ready to take the nest for themselves. Though they did not end up doing so. They are as beautiful as they are fierce! We tend to refer to all of the GHOs we see on stream here as "Pudgy" or "Mrs. Pudgy" , due to their size lol
