What is a great gray owl?
The large gray owl is the largest owl found in North America. He is a bird of prey or the prey of the bird. Its scientific name is Strix Nebulosa . The Great Gray Owl has a number of interesting nicknames that indicate supernatural, including "Phantom of the North", "Great Gray Spirit" and "Spectral Owl". Variations look like a gentle strip around the face and give the ends of the wings and on other parts of the body a spotted look. The owl has white brands under the chin that looks like a bow tie with many birds. The eyes are yellow with dark gray rings around them and, unlike the huge head of the owl, look relatively small. Its length ranges from 24 to 33 inches (61 to 84 cm). Its wing span is usually 55 to 56 inches (140 to 142 cm) and can be greater than 5 feet (1.52 m) on some birds. But he was deceiving the great appearance due to the extremely fluffy feathers of the owl. In fact, the weight of the owl is relatively low for such a large bird - about 46 to 50 ounces (1290 to 1390 g), on average.
The large gray owl lives in the northern hemisphere. In North America, it is located on Alaska, Canada and parts of northern United States such as northern California, Wyoming and Minnesota. It is also located in northern Europe and Asia. It prefers to live in dense forests, far from severely populated areas.
The large gray owl is the prey of the bird and its main source of food are small rodents such as oxen, mice and squirrels. The owl waits quietly until it locates prey or flies through the forest at a low height. After finding the prey, the owl immerses and accumulates the prey in their strong wires. When hunting, it relies strongly on its feeling of hearing. Great gray owls hear prey moving under the snow up to 2 feet (61 cm) deep.
nests of large gray owls mainly in tall trees using nests of nests, which were abandoned by other large birds. Owl usually puts two to five eggs, each of which is laid a day or two apart and eggs hatchedNou in 28 to 30 days. Mother incubate eggs and father is responsible for feeding children after they hatch. The child's owls are virtually helpless at birth, but they develop quickly, are able to climb and leave the nest when they are about three to four weeks, and learn to fly a few weeks later. Most young owls remain near the nest for the next few months, which they take care of by their mother before they can survive separately.
