It breeds northward to the Maritime Provinces, westward to Minnesota and southward to the Gulf States. Prob-ably southern New England is the northern limit of the birdsdistribution in winter. Note. — A smaller and darker race is found in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It is named Florida Screech Owl{M. asio Jloridanus). In this race the reddish feathers wear aricher rufous tint, and the gray are more deeply tinged withbrown.. GREAT HORNED OWL. CAT OWL. Bubo virginuxus. Char.
