	The Great Gray Owl In The Minnesota Winter
		Great Gray Owls are found in the boreal forest zone from Alaska across Canada, down the Northern Rocky Mountains, and northern Minnesota.In far north America, they frequent stunted coniferous forests along the edge of the Arctic treeline, through spruce and tamarack muskeg forests further south.
		The Great Gray is an owl which is adapted superbly for its preferred environment with low light conditions of dense forest cover, hunting is done almost entirely by sound, allowing this owl to locate prey that would otherwise be hidden safely under snow-cover from most other predators.
		Because the eyes are immovably 'fixed' in their sockets, an owl must turn its head to focus in on and follow moving objects, which is aided by a long and flexible neck that allows the owl to turn its head about 270 degrees around.
