 Great Horned Owl
   Bubo virginianus


Status:

Rare

 SP

Great-horned Owls have been observed on campus at dusk a handful of times, including one heard calling in March 2009 at The Vinings apartments. These birds are mostly nocturnal, which largely limits observation to the more vocal months of mating season. The Bunched Arrowhead Preserve, located just miles outside of campus in Travelers Rest, is a reliable place to find these birds.
