Owls of Oregon: Get to know the 14 species found here, from pygmy to great horned owls
Among 200 species of owls across the globe, 14 of them live in Oregon either permanently or seasonally, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. They include the largest and smallest owl species on Earth. Some are smaller than a pop can and are voracious midnight hunters that catch prey twice their size. Others have a wingspan of up to five feet and hunt in stealth mode, their round faces working like satellite dishes to collect scarce sounds and other information.
