I love watching Great Gray Owls - they are so focused on seeing/hearing their next prey, that they ignore you, other than an occasional quick glance in your direction. These owls look huge, but in fact much of the bulk is made up of feathers and there is just a smaller bird within. On Wikipedia (link below), there are two photos next to each other of a Great Gray Owl - a diagram has been added to the second image, showing the actual size of the skeleton - quite interesting to see.
