Subject: Great Horned Owl Dimensions (inches): 10 x 13 Medium: graphite pencil Description: 'With an impressive wingspan ranging from 5'-6', the Great Horned Owl is the second largest owl in Canada, second only to the Snowy Owl. This powerful nocturnal raptor includes such prey as snakes, skunks and porcupines in its hunting repertoire.

In this depiction, the owl has just spotted his prey and is preparing for the ensuing hunt.'
