Bubo
This owl is a large bird rivaling the eagles in size with a wingspan of 6 1/2 feet. Its wings are very broad and have special feathers which allow for silent flight even when flapping. Its plummage is a mottled brown, black and white all over, with Nothern bubos tending towards more white, Eastern bubos to more brown and bubos from Shadowlands to more black. This bird has large orange eyes and two tuffts of feathers resembling ears. These birds prey mainly on small creatures but can take prey the size of foxes and small dogs. Like the larger strix, the bubo is associated with death and ill fortune and is seen as a bad omen by many Northern and Eastern tribes.
