Great Horned Owl who's never worn a mortar board

People who stay north in Canada for the winter have to deal with cold, but they've got Eddie Bauer. Birds have a much tougher time coping with the freezing temps, 14 hours of darkness and scarcity of food. But the great horned owl deals — its huge yellow eyes let in lots of light (relatively speaking, they'd be the size of oranges in humans. Paging Jerry Colonna!)

For raptors, they're pretty cute. They mate for life, but an owl that's lost a partner will welcome a young bird searching for a home.
