Si bien es de gran tamaño, presenta gran variación (en tamaño y coloración) dentro de su rango de distribución (no consistente con la latitud). De todas las especies del género Bubo que hay en el mundo, el búho cornudo es el único que vive en América. Habita una gran variedad de hábitats, áreas abiertas asociadas a bosques y cuerpos de agua, bosques tropicales, templados, pantanosos y de coníferas, además manglares, desiertos y páramos, y asimismo vegetación secundaria y parques (este búho está asociado a paisajes fragmentados por ser tolerante a las actividades humanas). Está estrechamente relacionado con el Búho real que ocupa el mismo nicho ecológico en Eurasia. El busardo colirrojo podría considerarse su equivalente ecológico diurno pues comparte con el búho americano hábitats, presas y hábitos de anidación similares.
