Records. Table 3.

The Great Horned Owl is a large species recognized by its typical horn-like ear tufts. The road-killed individuals were identified by their size (Wc = 38.1 cm ± 0.7; n = 2), shape, and color pattern ( Fig. 15). They had a distinctive whitish bib-like throat patch, large eyes, and powerful and fully feathered talons. Plumage was white

to buff, suffused with darker shades of black-brown; the underside was buff with beige and dark brown barring and dark brown tips on the feathers. The tail was short and barred with white edges.
