Great Grey Owl flying

 

Great Grey Owl: This is the third of five planned sequential postings on this largest owl.

Having spotted a vole either by sight or hearing, the Great Grey Owl flies to catch it.

    That’s not the shape I would expect for something that makes no sound when it flies.

    Great photos you two! The pic “flying noislessly” is stunning – a full `side view, and to see the owls flat face moving forward..!

    Vole 1 – do you hear anything?
    Vole 2 – No
