Collection: Great Grey Owl - Summer

The great grey owl ( Strix nebulosa ) is one of Quebec's largest owls. In summer, it frequents the vast, humid boreal forests and peat bogs rich in small rodents, its favorite prey. Thanks to its impressive facial disc and broad wings, it hunts with formidable precision, even in low light. Its streaked gray plumage camouflages it perfectly among spruce trunks and mossy branches. During the warm season, it nests in old raptor nests or on natural platforms, often in remote and peaceful locations. Its discretion makes it difficult to spot, but its deep, muffled cry can betray its presence. Observing the great grey owl in summer is a rare and precious experience, a symbol of northern tranquility. Preserving its forest habitats is essential to maintaining this majestic species, which is sensitive to disturbances.
