An evening with a great gray owl
The great gray owl glided across the meadow on silent wings and landed on a snag right in front of me. The largest owl in Glacier National Park, great grays stand nearly three feet tall and are a rare sight. According to Cornell University’s “All About Birds,” great grays dwarf most owls in size, but not weight — they’re mostly feathers.
