The great horned owl is the most common owl of the Americas, and is easily recognized by the feather tufts on its head. Great horned owls live from the Arctic to South America. They are at home in the city, woods and farmlands. Northern populations migrate in winter, but most live permanently in more temperate climates.
They nest in tree holes, stumps, caves, or in the abandoned nests of other large birds. Monogamous pairs have one to five eggs, both the male and female incubate, and both hunt for food. Owls are powerful birds and fiercely protective parents. They have even been known to attack humans who wander too close to their young.
Owls are efficient nighttime hunters that strike from above, and use their powerful talons to kill and carry animals several times heavier than themselves. Owls prey on a huge variety of creatures, including raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, domestic birds, falcons, and even skunks.
This trail is used for horseback riding and hiking in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. The area is also a public hunting area, so please make sure to wear bright orange during the hunting season.
Cache is not winter friendly, but is available in winter. Plenty of roadside parking on wide shoulders in the summer, but watch your little ones. Parking may not be so easy in winter, depending on the amount of snow.
This cache was initially placed as part of the West Bend Cache Ba$h. Please remember to stamp your booklet and leave the stamp behind for the next finder.
