Description
The distinctive extra-large facial disks of these beautiful owls direct sound to feather covered ear openings, providing super-sensitive hearing. This enables the great grey owl to accurately locate prey, even under two feet of snow or in a tunnel. With soft feathers, it can glide unheard from its perch to dispatch an unfortunate rodent with its sharp talons

Fantastic action shot and clarity
Amazing photography and details, Danny!!!
Presumably they evolved silent flight after the dayglow yellow eyes & beak did't really work for a hunter!
Lol True Steve but prey under snow or tunnels are hardly going to notice those!
