Description

A Great Gray Owl perches on snow covered branches surveying the wintry countryside for prey,while snow falls softly around him.
Great Gray Owls have large heads shaped like a half dome. Their tails are wedge-shaped tails, and relatively long.Their large round facial disc has several narrow concentric rings of white and gray around each eye. The body feathers/plumage of the Great Gray owl are mostly gray, with a fine irregular stippling of gray, white, and a bit of brown. The have yellow eyes which appear small within the owl's wide facial disc and massive head.This bird's Russian common name, "Bearded Owl," refers to the distinct white bowtie markings under the owl's chin. They measure approximately 32 inches long, making them the largest owls in North America.
These owls are adept at sensing prey under deep snow. They use both their senses of sight and sound to locate and hunt their prey. Most of the time they are non-migratory birds, except when the rodent population becomes too diminished to support them, forcing them farther southward from their usual boreal forest of Canada,Siberia, and northern Europe.

Owl Medicine/ Owl Totem
Owl medicine is associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and
both black and white magic. On several Native American medicine wheels Owl is called Night Eagle,and usually sits in the East, the place of illumination.If you feel drawn to owl - be careful to stay away from any of the dark arts. If Owl is your medicine ,they will appear to you even during the daylight hours because they feel a kinship with you. Owls are very perceptive - knowing and seeing that which others cannot! Owl is the symbol for wisdom in many cultures.
The Greek goddess,Athena carried an owl on her shoulder,revealing truths to her.
People with Owl medicine can be unnerving to be around because they cannot be deceived and may know more about another's inner feelings than they do.Learn to trust your first impressions!
