Definition
- 1(Bubo virginianus). Búho solitario de gran tamaño natural de América, ampliamente extendido en el continente en varias subespecies. Tiene el rostro rojizo, la garganta blanca, y un color variable entre el pardogrisáceo claro y el castaño muy oscuro en el lomo y alas. Es sedentario, habitando en zonas rurales y urbanas indistintamente; un voraz predador, caza pequeños mamíferos y otras aves por las noches haciendo uso de su excelente visión nocturna. Su llamada es grave y sonora, y el tono espectral de la misma ha llevado a su asociación con los espíritus de los difuntos.
