Great Horned Owl
This posting is specifically for my friend, Mike (the Plant Doctor).Hey Mike! This is a Great Horned Owl! The Internet says average height is 18 to 26 inches. Now, I don't remember very well exactly how big you thought they were (as I recall I'd had a bit of a stout drink while we were discussing owls), but here is a picture. Yes, very nice, very large, very dangerous owls.
This one is an education bird at SOAR. He's a male, so not as big as they can get (the females are always bigger in the raptor world). Still, though, not as huge as I think you thought they were.

Hi Carolyn... Berni here. Saw Dickens on your page. I was cleaning the mews last week before Lady Hawkers. To my great surprise, I found an EGG in Dicken's dogloo. For nine years, we've misidentified Dickens as a male because of her smallness -- she only weighs 2 and a half pounds, and she's chunky at that! She is the smallest female GHO I've ever encountered. Just thought I'd let you know how much I don't know. Tee hee.
