  1. This has to be one of my favorite animals, particularly its radar-shaped feather layout.

    1. Heh. You can pretty much guarantee that the BBC will make an interesting documentary. Especially about a sophisticated predator such as the Great Grey Owl. Radar dish indeed. Posted 13 years ago
  2. A great story, DragonC, the great owl waiting (if I sit still he won't see me, I'm sure;)) , the dragon waiting, and waiting:) Seeing this photo I can envision it quite clearly. Posted 13 years ago

The great grey owl or great gray owl is a very large owl, documented as the world's largest species of owl by length. It is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, and it is the only species in the genus ''Strix'' found in both Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In some areas it is also called Phantom of the North, cinereous owl, spectral owl, Lapland owl, spruce owl, bearded owl, and sooty owl.
