Description
The Great Horned Owl is North America's most widespread owl. This one is shown camouflaged in among the textured growth of oak trees in Central California. The Great Horned Owl has successfully adapted to a wide variety of habitats, including virtually all California habitats except for the crest of the Sierra Nevada range. Provided there is ample prey and adequate nesting sites, Great Horned Owls are equally likely to be found in oak woodlands, low-elevation conifer forests, chaparral, desert and riparian habitats; they are less common in high-elevation conifer forests, though not absent.
Owls in general are not known for their nest-building prowess; most species simply "renovate" an existing nest or cavity that has been abandoned by its previous tenants. Great Horned Owls will use the past-season nest of other large birds such as crows or ravens, herons and hawks. They make themselves at home with relative ease: stick nests in trees or on platforms will do, and so will old tree snags and cavities or niches in cliffs. By utilizing natural cavities or niches in rocky cliffs, Great Horned Owls have been able to establish themselves successfully in desert regions. The same nest may be used by a pair of owls for multiple years.
