Abstract

This study analyzes the distribution of two subspecies of Great Horned Owls—B. v. virginianus and B. v. pallescens—across Texas using 157 specimens. Results show that their ranges align with distinct habitat types, especially hardwood and pine-oak forests for virginianus and xeric environments for pallescens.
