I was listening to a Great Horned Owl tonight hoot:

It was distracting my dog when I took her outside into the back yard the last time tonight. I looked up into the sky and also saw The Orion configuration but I think the Big Dipper was the other side of my house so I couldn't see that too. So, I brought my wife out to see the Orion Stars and to look at Orion's belt too.

So, when I came in I wanted to see the Range of the Great Horned Owl and was very surprised it is not only over most of north America but also in a lot of South America too!

begin quote from:

Great horned owls have a wingspan of approximately 4.6 feet (1.4 meters) and weigh just three pounds (1.4 kilograms). The great horned owl is found throughout the continental United States, as well as in Alaska. Its geographic range extends south into Mexico, Central America, and South America.
