JZ-1968 - The Mighty Great Gray Owl Takes Flight in a Winter Invasion!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Jim Zipp, witness the grandeur of the USA's longest owl, the Great Gray Owl. Standing tall at 27 inches with an impressive wingspan of 52 inches, this magnificent bird is truly a force to be reckoned with. During the harsh winters of 2004/2005, when vole populations crashed in their boreal forest homes, these majestic creatures embarked on an extraordinary journey southwards in search of food. And lucky for us, Jim Zipp was there to capture one such invasion moment in northern Minnesota! Perched gracefully on a solitary tree amidst a snowy wonderland, this nocturnal predator showcases its striking grey plumage against the backdrop of coniferous woodlands. Its piercing eyes and sharp talons reveal its prowess as a formidable raptor. As we marvel at this incredible photograph, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty and resilience of our feathered friends. They remind us that even during challenging times like invasions and prey scarcity, nature finds ways to adapt and survive. So hang up JZ-1968 proudly on your wall and let it transport you into the enchanting world of North American wildlife. Let it serve as a reminder that sometimes even unexpected visitors can bring joy and wonderment into our lives!
