Description

This original owl picture was taken in Yellowstone national park and transformed to mixed media painting. Great Gray Owls (Strix nebulosa) are the largest owl species in North America. They soar with spread wingspans 4.5 feet and larger with a body length of up to 28 inches. They can weigh over 2 pounds their bodies are more fluffy feathers.The female raptor are usually larger than males, but they are otherwise vertebrate identical in appearance. Great Gray Owls have a large, rounded, half-domed head with a flat face and no ear tufts. Their two piercing yellow eyes , but look rather small due to the ringed facial disks. The bill is mostly yellow with a black patch below separating white lores that give Great Gray Owls their classic bow-tied appearance. The plumage is mostly gray with patches of whites and browns. Montana is one of the few states in the lower 48 where great gray owls live,Northern Rockies as far south as Yellowstone National Park and into the Tetons. Which makes it enjoyable to photograph,but is time consuming waiting for flight attacks for prey. Being patience and a lot of shutter clicks you will eventually get this shot.The lack of light during the late and early hours in which they hunt. On the nesting grounds, they mainly hunt at night and near dawn and dusk; at other times, they are active mostly during the night.
