The Great Gray Owl is one of the largest owls in North America by appearance but not by weight. Its size is made up of mostly feathers which protect it from the harsh winter weather. This northern owl's main diet is made up of mice and small animals, and this mainly because it does not have powerful talons like other large owl species.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
