The name "nebulosa" is derived from the Latin "Nebulosus", meaning misty or foggy. The owl has a grey face and yellow eyes with dark concentric circles around them. The great grey owl feeds primarily on small rodents by perching on a tree overlooking a meadow or open area. The owl's keen hearing enables it to accurately determine the location of its prey, even under two feet of snow or in tunnels.
