Description
The Great Grey Owl is one the largest owl being 24 to 33 inches, averaging 28 inches with a wingspan of 60 inches and can weigh 1 to 4 pounds The males are usually smaller than females which is common for owls.
They are diurnal meaning they hunt during the day. The yellow eyes are also a sign that these birds hunt during the day. The darker colored eyes of owls indicate they are nocturnal hunters. There does seem to be some variation in this as the Great Horned and the Short Eared owls which are nocturnal have yellow eyes. Any ideas on why this might be?

Thanks Annie. They are one of my favorite owls, with the Snowy Owl and the Burrowing Owls a close 2nd and 3rd. I too have only seen Barred Owl once in the nature as they are not native to the Pacific Northwest. But they becoming more common out here.

Hi Wes n Dotty, this GG is phenomenal. I have been inside a rehab cage with two of them, so definitely feel the magnificence. Wondering if this one, like a Barred Owl I saw once in nature and others after that, sits or was sitting in the spot where the last bit of sunlight is before the sun sets. I live how they know where that is in the trees! -Annie Lindstrom
