This is best footage of wild owl on here. No unnecessary background music or narration, very organic. And respectful! Nothing is sadder than a captive/pet owl.
¡¡EXACTLY!! Most people would have ruined it by adding music, talking, etc. This clip is PERFECT as it is. It really feels like you´re actually out there with the owl.
@@kerrykestrowl6785 I'm currently sitting at the computer and looking into the nest. You know about my injury. I can only write with one finger so I am not yet able to mod, but I can watch. Have a nice weekend and a peaceful 1st Advent. Warm greetings :-)
This one has a very 'do you mind?' look to it. Seems fairly tame and trusting for a wild bird. Congrats for getting so near without scaring the bird away
I think it's the awesome power of digital zoom mixed with it being a predatory bird and not a bird that regularly becomes dinner giving you that impression.
You have incredible self control to remain motionless and silent for so long. What an experience that he allowed you to share with him! I love how your close ups were in focus and were so detailed that I could see his inner eye lids and the individual feathers. Bravo!
This owl has visited several times since I made this video. I've since cut this stump, so I won't be able to get such a close image of this owl since it tends to perch in the trees now. I also moved the bee hives to another location in the yard.
Mazryonh This was the only time I saw it perched in this stump. Other times it perched in the surrounding trees. Last year I cut the stump short, so it will not be perching on it again.
Jeffrey Simonson I understand; perhaps if this owl comes back to this yard you can take more videos of it. It clearly doesn't have a problem with you getting close to it.
Mazryonh I actually saw it last week. It was calling from up at the top of a big spruce tree. When it left its perch, it flew right over my head, completely silent. It was at night and completely dark except for a slightly brighter overcast sky, so I could just barely see its darker outline. Not many birds can fly at night.
She is very beautiful I love owls I would always hear them hooting outside my window at night and it always comforted me. :) great footage of her I would love to be able to get this close to an owl
Most people when seeing an animal/ bird people usually refers to them as he. Makes me happy i'm not that only 1 whom referred to the owl as SHE, is beautiful. 1 time I was walking my dog at almost 11pm and saw this big bird had the feeling it was an owl but didn't wanted to believe it & I looked up the tree branch and I wasn't sure then she flew down to the concrete where I could see her way better than completely realized it was in fact an owl. I was excited to see her but afraid at same time (I thought she was going to attack me& my dog) she just stood there on concrete street as I left. Are owl sometimes trying to tell someone something? I mean she could of easily have flown away from my sight or attack me with those huge claws they have
i am super sure you were thinkin ' turn around....turn around.......' when it was turned away from you. Then suddenly..BOOM she stares directly into the camera! Lovely shot!! lovely , beautiful and commanding presence from her :)
I was in the Tetons of Wyoming ,end of winter , when one of these Great Grays came glyding down to a window where I was sitting . It lifted its wings and showed me its entire wing span and beautiful feathers . What an incredible event I’ll always cherish it .
No arguement there. Esp the great greys, they squint more and their eyes seem small for an owl! It's a cute look though on them! Someone should remake cheech and Chong but with owls!
It's because owls are very far-sighted. Hence, the owl was squinting to try to study and look at the person filming, who was too close for the owl to see normally
What an awesome experience! He looks like he’s trying to take a nap. Maybe you should add another “tree stump” to your yard for him to use as his honorary roosting site.
Interesting when I think about the bird calls in the background. That owl is hearing something very different from what I would hear. He knows exactly where those birds are because he can triangulate their location. Must be incredible to be able to do that.
I have curiosity about what do u mean with it's not unusual behavior??? For them to be close to humans? Not very long an owl got down from a branch tree to the concrete very close to where I was... so you are saying they do that? I'm very curious about owls. I hope i'm not sounding very weird lol
I love how this Great Grey is aware that its not in danger as the Human is slowly approaching and not making much noise. However you can try to sneak up on it,such Gigantic owl has probably the best hearing that can hear pretty much anything approaching. Even if its slight movement,and that Gaze as well as Lock on where the sound is coming from. Especially the other birds could not do anything as it dives on the Great Grey Owl,the Great Grey owl simply didn't care.
You were lucky to be able to get so close to such a magical owl. I would be smiling for a week if I had that encounter, mind you there are no gray owls in the UK. I have been lucky enough to see all of our resident owls though. I would have left the stump there myself as it was very comfortable resting there to cool off and if in your yard it would be safe there and then would roost in the nearby trees. You may never get that close again and during the breeding season, you would be wise not to. It's really nice footage and the owls eyes when blinking are amazing. ◕‿◕
Amazing, so big but probably only weighs 2 and 1/2 to 3 lb tops. Beautiful Creatures... I like the length of film. It makes me feel like I'm there observing it in nature myself. I enjoyed the natural noises. Thank you.
Thanks for this awesome video. To me, by far is the most beautiful of all owls. I have never seen a video of a wild GGO in such a relaxed state. Still wondering why you'd cut the stump that s/he liked so well so to stay perched on for that long?
The great grey owl or great gray owl (Strix nebulosa) is a very large owl, documented as the world's largest species of owl by length. It is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, and it is the only species in the genus Strix found in both Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In some areas it is also called Phantom of the North, cinereous owl, spectral owl, Lapland owl, spruce owl, bearded owl, and sooty owl.
thank you for sharing,,,,really enjoyable, good job moving around too, I was surprised the owl didn't fly off, he obviously knew you were there....really nice video!
Melvin Wei 14:21 ? it's stretching and skewing. ??? what kind of camera does that to only the foreground? Just a weird looking vid and whatever they did ... i don't like it! hahahah man... just film it with a normal camera w/o weirdness, ok?
You were very fortunate to be able to get such excellent footage. I'm guessing he's a young, inexperienced owl to not be more wary and beat a retreat with you taking footage and all the robins scolding him.
@@simonsonjh that's what I wondered. But I've only ever seen them pant. I know I do that when it's hot! I mean hold my arms away from my body if I'm not in public but being in the god forsaken climate I'm in- that's seldom a problem. Sadly.
This owl looks as if he could speak more wisdom than anyone! His/her (idk the gender) posture is so steady and calm when especially being around a human
This aint look like any creature that ı know of until now. Such a distinct behaviour makes it look like weird and invoke some other feelings such as patience and balance maybe .. I like the footage great expreince
When you pan around the owl it, you never get around to its face, until it turn to face you. To me this looks like you've filmed an owl in a temperature controlled aviary with a green screen, with a separate background shot of your yard used that on the green screen.
The big the big great gray it's very beautiful! I think I died and went there how heaven for tonight I watch several of different types of owl videos and learned a lot about owls. I love owls! 🙂♥️☁️☁️☁️🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳👍✌️🖐️

Yeah it’s to awful seeing a captive owl for no reason.

Them a hole robbins tho
Magnificent bird and excellent camera work.
Great!!!!!!
This is a beautiful quiet film. What must it have been a pleasure to have these wild owl as a guest.
Dagmar, aren't you at one of the live cams now? explore? Deutsches Maedel, korrekt? ;)
Great gray owls are magnificent love the photography ❤
Wow you are fast 😂

No I am sorry I didn’t know about your injury get well soon Dagmar
mysterious piercing eyes. and the head control is almost robotic.
This one has a very 'do you mind?' look to it. Seems fairly tame and trusting for a wild bird. Congrats for getting so near without scaring the bird away
I think it's the awesome power of digital zoom mixed with it being a predatory bird and not a bird that regularly becomes dinner giving you that impression.
@@xSwordLilyx it appears to be optic zoom.
That bird is feeling uncomfortably warm. They hold their wings like that and do the throat thing to cool off. So fluffy!
its an honor for you to film this creature!
You have incredible self control to remain motionless and silent for so long. What an experience that he allowed you to share with him! I love how your close ups were in focus and were so detailed that I could see his inner eye lids and the individual feathers. Bravo!
What a majestic & mysterious creature it is. Relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing this special moment with us.

y'know you really shouldn't screw up your new friends favorite spot. it's awfully rude and not a good way to keep friends you just made. ; )
Amazing how calm it is. Only moving when the Robin's get too close. So beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
She is very beautiful I love owls I would always hear them hooting outside my window at night and it always comforted me. :) great footage of her I would love to be able to get this close to an owl

I’m sexist. N i refer to all things that matter as a male. Mankind for the win, get back in the kitchen
Tipsy Gypsy Lmao
Tipsy Gypsy lol
This one has a funny hoot
What a majestic creature. Thank you for sharing this!
She looks so pretty healthy. Great video as usual !!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful footage of the Great Gray Owl .
Man looks like he has a lot of wisdom to offer.
i am super sure you were thinkin ' turn around....turn around.......' when it was turned away from you. Then suddenly..BOOM she stares directly into the camera! Lovely shot!! lovely , beautiful and commanding presence from her :)
That head turn was like, “G’morning my friend, thus I turn away into the distance to hear the cries of a small bird.” It’s perfect.
6:26 - 6:56 is why I've watched this video 1000 times and for the greatness of footage👌 Thanks for this great video, best owl clip EVER!
That’s a perfect hair cut, it’s so sharp, I wish I could have that shapes 3:52 is like hi dude
he has a lot of self confidence 🌞❤
Your so lucky to have been so close to this beauty.Thanks for the video.
I was in the Tetons of Wyoming ,end of winter , when one of these Great Grays came glyding down to a window where I was sitting . It lifted its wings and showed me its entire wing span and beautiful feathers . What an incredible event I’ll always cherish it .
It looks like he just smoked a joint. ¦)
Same thing i was saying..

3:50 that is terrifying

So big and dominant
These stunning birds are incredibly beautiful and haunting.
Not haunting but beautiful
4:55 You have a probleme dude 🤣
I love how another bird nails him @1:31 and he dosent even flinch
yo the owl looks as humongous as the trees in the thumbnail lmao
newkayera foreal
Dat owl looks so chill with you being there....
saw one when i was fifteen that was literally as big as my upper torso.
Yeah they're huge animals.
So, I'm gathering this is not unusual behavior for these birds. This is stunning photography. What a treat.
I have curiosity about what do u mean with it's not unusual behavior??? For them to be close to humans? Not very long an owl got down from a branch tree to the concrete very close to where I was... so you are saying they do that?

Now I know why they are called great gray owl wonderful photography
He looks like some kind of royalty

This owls doesn't give two shits about the attacking birds.
There's no darkness here in the summer.
What great footage. I am going to do a hike down in Kincaid park (anchorage) to see if I can find one of these guys!
If you hear their loud calls, you can find them pretty easily. Good hunting.
....this cutie owl is so,so biutyful!! thank you very much for your amazing uploading! warmly greetings from our "black forest"/germany !
When somone says somthing offensive 7:02
I fucking love Great Grey Owls.
So amazingly beautiful!
6 years ago and still looks like a gem
Owls are like the sloths of birds, this is a great video, they’re beautiful creatures
What a beautiful bird! And so trusting. Great job !
Thanks for this awesome video. To me, by far is the most beautiful of all owls. I have never seen a video of a wild GGO in such a relaxed state. Still wondering why you'd cut the stump that s/he liked so well so to stay perched on for that long?
maybe that's the stump for splitting firewood.
1:31 did another bird fly into his head??
Yes, it was an American Robin.
This is living proof that an owl is even cooler than a cucumber
How relaxed are you Owl?
Yes
He was unnaturally still. Either he just ate or might not have been feeling well.
He is so majestic. Thank you for posting this.
Relaxed with it's wings down, enjoying the sun bath :)
daAnder71 lol
The great grey owl and the snowy owl are my favorite
And mine 💛
1:24 dun dun dun!
lol, he looks like he is "squinting at those who dare to watch him"
What a great bird and shots!

4:59 He blinks so cool
1:29 thats me when i want too sleep but ppl just look at me en i cant sleep LMAO
thank you for sharing,,,,really enjoyable, good job moving around too, I was surprised the owl didn't fly off, he obviously knew you were there....really nice video!
Wait a minute... how is the foreground skewing and moving when the background does not?
Yeah, I don't get that either. All that shifting and rotating yet the bird's head is always turned away, it makes no physical sense.
Melvin Wei 14:21 ? it's stretching and skewing. ??? what kind of camera does that to only the foreground? Just a weird looking vid and whatever they did ... i don't like it! hahahah man... just film it with a normal camera w/o weirdness, ok?
This is called "perspective".
The camera must be mounted on some automated tripod and turning and sliding and it just looked weird.
I hand-held the camera.
Excellent: Rare & Unique Footage! ...T Up.
Such a beautiful owl Did it go for Robin
When u can fly so high,you just chill.
I know I’m high & everything but did this Seagull just wink at me 4:53
Yes much so
I laughed hard at 3:50 lol
Please turn that into a gif
I laughed too hahahahahahha
Mannnnnnn that shit was too damn funny
Awesome! What a great look at this incredible bird.
this mother turning his head is straight trippy
I can't even grammer right now
Breathtakingly beautiful!!!♥️🦉
Those robins are letting the whole world know about the owl in the vincinity lol!!!
Did anybody else start swinging when you heard that buzzing noise when the video first started
It is an amazing experience to come in close contact with a big owl. I encountered a large Bard Owl.
Absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing ...what an experience that must have been...
You were very fortunate to be able to get such excellent footage.
I'm guessing he's a young, inexperienced owl to not be more wary and beat a retreat with you taking footage and all the robins scolding him.
He will only take a little sleep between the amazing bird songs and kicks and wings..
but wtf is this CAM..? 😘
Why is he holding his wing open a bit? Dont they usually close them when not moving or flying?
It was very hot that day. I think the owl was just trying to cool off.
@@simonsonjh that's what I wondered. But I've only ever seen them pant. I know I do that when it's hot! I mean hold my arms away from my body if I'm not in public but being in the god forsaken climate I'm in- that's seldom a problem. Sadly.
Beautiful owl!!
Absolutely beautiful
Oh never mind I should have watched it all the way through. Great video!
Absolutely awesome footage....Thank You for sharing with us♥️

This aint look like any creature that ı know of until now. Such a distinct behaviour makes it look like weird and invoke some other feelings such as patience and balance maybe .. I like the footage great expreince
I'm grateful a video from 11 years ago exists and it not being from this era of A.I. Owl's.
Great video!! What was that sound at 12:37? Lol Sounded like a leopard or some big cat
Just wind.
Love this video 🤔 always wanted to see these beautiful animals in real life 🥺
I see them all the time when i go fishing here in the up of mi! :)
Jason Garnett Where in Michigan?.I lived here all my life and never seen one.
Saw one at Whipsnade zoo (UK) today. Amazing.
Ah the before time. I remember that.
When you pan around the owl it, you never get around to its face, until it turn to face you. To me this looks like you've filmed an owl in a temperature controlled aviary with a green screen, with a separate background shot of your yard used that on the green screen.
Gracias por compartir, hermoso ejemplar! (Carabo Lapon) El buho mas hermoso..
lol in the beginning he's like half asleep with a lazy eye
I respect this owl more than I thought I would
The big the big great gray it's very beautiful! I think I died and went there how heaven for tonight I watch several of different types of owl videos and learned a lot about owls. I love owls! 🙂♥️☁️☁️☁️🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳👍✌️🖐️
BEAUTY! those smaller birds were NOT happy with him sitting there!
Wow - breathtaking!
There's your logical explanation for the Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant and Chicago. Maybe there are a few unrecorded that are a little larger?
What an amazing and mysterious creature..!
Owls look like security cameras that move when they are looking around
Just awesome. Read some other comments, looks 10000% real to me, great footage man!!! I'm jealous.
