A Great Horned Owl and Baby in a eucalyptus tree nest in Saguaro National Park. Great horned owls are the largest owls in the Sonoran Desert, reaching up to 2 feet in height. They are gray or brown with a white throat, prominent ear tufts, and barred feathers on their underside. These owls are known for being aggressive and powerful hunters, sometimes called "tiger owl." They can take down a variety of prey, including rabbits, hawks, snakes, skunks, and even porcupines. Their talons are also very strong, requiring 28 pounds of force to open when clenched.
