The Great Horned Owl is a unique and majestic bird. It’s rare to see one, but when you do, it’s an awe-inspiring experience. This is one of approximately 240 species of birds that live in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and these owls – along with about 60 other species – are considered one of the year-round residents of the park. Other species come and go as they please, similar to the tourists who visit this popular park. But the Great Horned Owl stays, nesting throughout the winter in nests that have been abandoned by birds who’ve migrated out of the area. It’s a good way to find a home in a hurry.
