"Great Horned Owl (Plate 61)" is a notable illustration by the American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon, featured in his seminal work "The Birds of America," which was published as a series in sections between 1827 and 1838. The plate depicts the Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus, a large and powerful bird of prey native to the Americas. Audubon's depiction is celebrated for its vivid detail and lifelike portrayal, capturing the majesty and intensity of the owl's gaze and posture.

Audubon's technique involved shooting the birds and then using wires to prop them up in natural positions, allowing him to create highly accurate and detailed renderings. His work on "The Birds of America" was groundbreaking for its combination of artistic beauty and scientific detail, and it remains one of the most comprehensive avian studies ever completed. The "Great Horned Owl" is one of the 435 hand-colored, life-size prints made from engraved plates, measuring around 39 by 26 inches.

The illustration showcases Audubon's skill in rendering the textures of feathers and the nuanced colors of the bird's plumage. The Great Horned Owl is presented in a dramatic nighttime setting, which reflects its nocturnal habits and predatory prowess. The work not only contributes to the field of ornithology but also stands as a significant achievement in American art.

"Great Horned Owl (Plate 61)" is part of a collection that has been treasured both for its artistic merit and for its importance in the history of ornithology. Audubon's dedication to creating life-like illustrations of birds in their natural habitats set a new standard for wildlife art and continues to influence the field to this day. The plate, along with the rest of the collection, has been reproduced and analyzed extensively, reflecting its enduring appeal and significance.
