Great Gray Owl
| Strix nebulosa | Order: Strigiformes | Family: Strigidae (Owls) |
Strix nebulosa
Order: Strigiformes
Family: Strigidae (Owls)
Our largest owl by dimension weighs significantly less than Snowy or Great Horned Owls. It’s soft call is a steady drumbeat of hoots: *Hoo. Hoo. Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.” Despite its massive size, this owl specializes on tiny prey, especially meadow voles.
