The great gray owl is one of the biggest owls in the world. It lives in the northern hemisphere and is considered as the largest owl to live there. This owl is filmed on a snowy February day in Alaska and the couple who recorded it must have been very lucky since it is such a rarity to see an owl during daylight. We know that they are active at night and at dusk or dawn. But when grey owls have nestlings, they also hunt during the day. Their scientific name comes from the Greek ‘strizo’, meaning to screech, and the Latin ‘nebulosa’, meaning dark or clouded, referring to their gray coloration. This owl is not afraid of people and sometimes totally unaware it directly looks into the camera objective of those who take pictures of him. You can see him here how he looks at the camera and is not frightened a bit. The color of his feathers is just like the color of the cold winter day and it so perfectly blends with the Alaska. This owl is an observant onlooker, turning the head to listen attentively to what is going on in its surroundings. The most obvious feature of this owl  owl is a large facial disk, a satellite dish of feathers with many concentric rings he has no ear tufts, all sounds are directed through his feathers to his ears. His striking look makes him easily noticeable and people love taking photos of him. And winter in all her grey and white colors is the perfect season to make few snapshots with your camera.
