This Great Horned Owl illustration is scanned from an old 1903 book titled Birds of the United States.
About the Great Horned Owl (Bubo Virginianus):
Characteristics: Plumage very variable, of mottled black, light
and dark brown, buff, and tawny. A white band on the throat, and a white stripe down the breast,- the latter sometimes obscure. Ear-tufts large and conspicuous; legs and toes feathered. Length 18 to 25 inches.
Nest: Sometimes within a hollow tree, but usually on an upper
limb. A deserted nest of crow or hawk is often used, and then it is a clumsy, bulky affair of sticks, lined with feathers.
Eggs: 2-3; white and nearly spherical; 2.20 x 1.80.
This species, so nearly related to the Great Eared Owl of Europe, is met with occasionally from Hudson's Bay to Florida, and in Oregon; It exists even beyond the tropics, being very probably the same bird described by Marcgrave as inhabiting the forests of Brazil.
