It's superb owl Sunday

These two great grey owls look like they're ready to play, which seems fitting on Super Bowl (or 'superb owl') Sunday. Great greys are bigger than most other owls, with broad wings and a long tail. But before you pencil them in at offensive line, consider that most of their size comes from feathers—they're relative lightweights. They generally live in pine and fir forests with meadows nearby, hunting small rodents at night and avoiding areas with people. Great greys hunt by listening and watching from a perch, then swooping down on their prey—sometimes plunging into more than a foot of snow to make a diving catch. Super Bowl LV will be played tonight at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with The Weeknd performing at halftime.
