The Song Sparrow is one of the birds with the most numerous subspecies in North America, and even on a global scale rivals such species as the Horned Lark, the Yellow Wagtail, the Golden Whistler or the Island Thrush.

Gold-fronted Serin ( Serinus pusillus ), Linnet ( Carduelis cannabina ), Snow finch ( Montifringilla nivalis ), Rock sparrow ( Petronia petronia ), Rock Bunting ( Emberiza cia ) and Horned Lark ( Eremophila alpestris ) are native ; in winter they come to the lower hill sides.

The Temminck ’ s Lark or Temminck ’ s Horned Lark ( Eremophila bilopha ), breeds across much of north Africa, through northern Saudi Arabia to western Iraq.

The migratory Horned Lark breeds across much of the northern regions of North America, Europe and Asia and in the mountains of Europe.

Unlike most other larks, these are distinctive looking species with striking head and face patterns, black and white in Temminck ’ s Lark and black and yellow in most Horned Larks.

When not breeding they form large flocks of over 1000 individuals which are sometimes known to include Snow Buntings ( P. nivalis ), Lapland Longspurs ( C. lapponicus ), and Horned Larks ( E. alpestris ), as well as other rosy-finch species.

While they share some habitat with Horned Puffins ( F. corniculata ), the range of the Tufted Puffin is generally more southern.

Adult Merlins may be preyed on by larger raptors, especially Peregrine Falcons ( F. peregrinus ), eagle-owls ( e. g., Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus ), and larger Accipiter hawks ( e. g., Northern Goshawk, A. gentilis ).

In comparison, the Barn Owl ( Tyto alba ), the world's most widely-distributed owl species, weighs about 500 grams ( 1. 1 lbs ) and the Great Horned Owl ( B. virginianus ), which fills the Eagle Owl's ecological niche in North America, weighs around 1. 4 kg ( 3. 1 lbs ).

In line with the other 3 main lineages of cracids ( chachalacas, true guans, and the Horned Guan ), mt and nDNA sequence data indicates that the curassows diverged from their closest living relatives ( probably the guans ) at some time during the Oligocene, or c. 35 – 20 mya ( Pereira et al.

Predators of adults include the Peregrine Falcon ( Falco peregrinus ), Snowy Owl ( Bubo scandiacus ), Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ), Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ), Red-tailed Hawk ( Buteo jamaicensis ), Great Horned Owl ( Bubo virginianus ), Eurasian Eagle Owl ( Bubo bubo ), and Cooper's Hawk ( Accipiter cooperii ).

Horned lizards are morphologically similar to the Australian thorny devil ( Moloch horridus ), but are only distantly related.

The Great Horned Owl, ( Bubo virginianus ), also known as the Tiger Owl, is a large owl native to the Americas.

However, Great Horned Owls can be easily confused with the Magellanic Horned Owl ( B. magellanicus ), with which they may have limited overlap in southermost South America.

Red-tailed Hawks ( Buteo jamaicensis ) often considered a potential competitor to the Great Horned due to their overlapping range ( in North America ), habitat preferences and broadly similar ( and similarly broad ) prey selection, often focus their diet largely on the diurnally active squirrels.

Great Horned Owl eggs, nestlings and fledgings may be preyed on by foxes, coyotes ( Canis latrans ), or wild or feral cats.

Although the Red-tailed's prey is on average larger ( due in part to the scarcity of diurnal squirrels in the Owl's diet ), the Great Horned Owl is an occasional predator of Red-tailed Hawks of any age, while the hawks are not known to predate adult Horned Owls.

She said that the God was called Cernunnos, or Kernunno, which in Celtic meant " The Horned One ".

Doreen Valiente has called the Horned God " the eldest of gods " in both The Witches Creed and also in her Invocation To The Horned God.

The term Horned God itself predates Wicca, and is an early 20th century syncretic term for a horned or antlered anthropomorphic god with pseudohistorical origins who, according to Margaret Murray's 1921 The Witch-Cult in Western Europe, was the deity worshipped by a pan-European witchcraft-based cult, and was demonized into the form of the Devil by the Mediaeval Church.

Primarily known for her work in Egyptology, which was " the core of her academic career ," she is also known for her propagation of the Witch-cult hypothesis, the theory that the witch trials in the Early Modern period of Christianized Europe and North America were an attempt to extinguish a surviving pre-Christian, pagan religion devoted to a Horned God.
