Great Horned Owl
|
Those distinctive tufts are not ears, but they sure look like them. These raptors of the night take prey as large as a grouse. I remember watching a pair silhouetted in the moonlight overlooking Alex Bay on Lopez Island. This carving was done out of a single piece of wood, stones and all, and was a bit of a feat to accomplish. The owl is full size, about 22 inches from head to tail.
