*** About Snowy Owls: Snowy owls are striking avian predators known primarily for their unmistakable plumage and presence in Arctic regions. These birds are among the largest and most beautiful of the owl family, with males generally displaying a whiter coloration compared to the spotted females. Adapted to life in cold environments, they possess thick feathers and wide wingspans, which enable them to conserve heat and cover large areas in search of food. Typically found in open tundra, snowy owls have occasionally been spotted as far south as the northern United States during migration periods. Notably, snowy owls are diurnal, unusual for owls, hunting both day and night relying on their keen eyesight and exceptional hearing to locate prey under thick cover of snow or within the tundra’s sparse vegetation.
