I've done a bit of banding and other nest work on great grays in Alaska. Yes Tatiana, I agree that your birds (based on that photo) sure appear to be much paler than ours here in N.A. Northof50, that's an interesting factoid; I had no idea the the great gray was officially the Manitoba Provincial bird. Based on what you and others submit, it's rare that I don't learn something from this Photo Phriday pretty much every week. Thanks!

Gulo the red herring is the eyes as most owls reflect so much of the flash as red the non feathered talons must put it out of the cold temperate climates of ours so how is the leaning to the Eurasian Scops owl Otus scops

If anybody's interested, the "mystery" owl I posted a picture of, is a brown boobook, AKA brown hawk-owl, AKA oriental hawk-owl, AKA Ninox scutulata from SE Asia. The photo was taken in extreme southern Far Eastern Russia back in 1993 in Kedrovaya Pad Reserve.
