The Great Grey Owl, also called Lapland Owl, ranges from Scandinavia through north Russia, across the Bering Strait to Alaska and Canada. It has the largest facial disc of any owl and is the tallest, but much of its size is fluffy plumage to insulate it from the cold climate and the bird beneath the plumage is much smaller than an Eagle Owl.
