Great Horned Owl Coloring Pages

The Great "Horned" Owl's horns aren't horns at all, and they aren't ears either! They're just tufts of feathers. Scientists aren't completely sure what they're for, but the best guess is camouflage. The tufts break up the owl's round head so it looks more like a broken branch stub. They may also show mood, since an alert owl tends to raise them. Color the feathers mottled brown and grey with a white patch at the throat and a rusty-orange face, then add big yellow eyes.
