Strigidae consists of nearly 200 living species of what are considered typical or true owls.  These birds have large heads with rounded facial disks, and many species bear tufts of feathers on their heads resembling "ears".  They range in size from five inches for the elf owl (''Micrathene whitneyi'') to seventy inches in the European eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) and great grey owl (''Strix nebulosa'').
