Whoooo who who did you guess those feet belonged to?!!? Great horned owl, that's whoooo! Did you know that the wingspan of a great horned owl can be over 55 inches!?! That's almost 5ft! This nocturnal predator is fast and stealthy and are great at controlling of rodent populations, which puts them at greater risk of rodenticide poisoning. Think twice before using rodenticides! #birdnerd #wildlifehealth #wildliferesearch #ibirdny #cornellvet
