Snowy Wings and Hungry Things - The Epic Tale of JZ-1967, the USA's Longest Owl
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Jim Zipp, we witness the majestic presence of JZ-1967, a Great Grey Owl standing tall at an impressive 27 inches with a wingspan stretching an astonishing 52 inches. Known as the longest owl in America, this magnificent creature takes flight during one of nature's most extraordinary events. During the winter invasion of 2004/2005 in northern Minnesota, when vole populations crashed in their boreal forest homes, these resourceful owls embarked on a daring journey southward in search of sustenance. With eyes keenly focused on prey and feathers flapping gracefully against the snowy backdrop, JZ-1967 becomes a symbol of resilience and adaptability. As this striking image captures our attention, we are reminded that nature always finds its way to survive even amidst challenging circumstances. The great gray owl embodies strength and determination while navigating through icy landscapes to secure its next meal. With North America as its playground and nocturnal prowess as its secret weapon, JZ-1967 showcases how wildlife can captivate our hearts. This single snapshot freezes time for us to marvel at the beauty found within our own backyard. So let your imagination take flight alongside JZ-1967 as it soars through frozen skies – a true testament to the wonders that await us if we only open our eyes to see them!
