GREAT GRAY OWLS

There's something magical about Great Gray Owls. While it may be hard pin point what it is that makes them so special - their expressive faces, massive size, silent flight, and remote, forest habitats all add to their intrigue. Couple this with their amazing hunting abilities and tender yet protective parenting, what's not to love?

 

Did you know that Great Gray Owls can detect the movements of prey from over 320 feet away, under snow that is 17 inches thick? Once they've zeroed in; they dive, plunging through snow crusts that can support a 175 lbs human in order to reach their prey! The hunting strategies of Great Gray Owls are among the most impressive and unique in the world.

​

When you adopt a Great Gray Owl, you help fund our research on these incredible owls and the habitats they call home. Specifically, you help preservation efforts around the unique snags Great Gray Owls like to nest in. These old trees are a vital component of healthy forest ecosystems and are utilized by a host of species. This is one, specific way we can influence Great Gray Owl conservation. We hope you will join us in our efforts.

ABOUT YOUR GREAT GRAY OWL ADOPTION

When you sponsor a Great Gray Owl, you ensure that our research on these owls continues. At the Owl Research Institute, we know that conservation efforts begin with reliable data. We provide this data and work hard to ensure that it gets to the right decision makers.

 

Our Great Gray Owl study is conducted out of many different study sites in western Montana. Travel to and from our sites, equipment, manpower, and data management are all costs associated with the Great Gray Owl study.

​

Your adoption helps cover these necessary costs and ensure that our study continues - working to protect this incredible species.

HOW GREAT GRAY OWL ADOPTION WORKS

As a non-profit, we designed our adoption program to help fund research and conservation around specific species. 

 

All of our research is conducted on wild owls in their natural habitat. We keep no owls at the Owl Research Institute and are not a rehabilitation center. We are a field-based research institute with an emphasis on conservation and education.

 

We are enormously grateful to those who make the decision to support our work. The symbolic adoption program is a  new and unique way to donate to the Owl Research Institute and ensure that research on Great Gray Owls continues.
