Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus)

Family: Typical Owl Family (Strigidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Vulnerable

Immediately recognizable thanks to its large size and distinctive colouration (snowy white with flecks of black or brown, with females often being more heavily flecked than males), the Snowy Owl is unusual among owls in that it is active during that day as well as at night, and in that it is nomadic (meaning it continually travels throughout its range, instead of settling in a single territory for the majority of its life like most owls.) Found in open tundras in arctic regions of Asia, Europe and North America, the diet of this species consists primarily of lemmings (which do not hibernate during the winter, unlike many arctic rodents, and so can be reliably found year-round), but it has also been known to feed on other small mammals such as rabbits, rats, voles and hares (particularly the Arctic Hare) as well as birds such as the Common Eider, Snow Bunting, Rock Ptarmigan and Horned Grebe, and occasionally fish where it is able to catch them. Although their sense of hearing is excellent Snowy Owls seem to rely primarily on sight to locate prey, typically surveying their surroundings from elevated ground and catching prey by swooping low to the ground and grabbing it in their sharp-clawed feet (although when hunting larger prey they may land on their prey feet-first to allow the force of impact to cause additional injuries.) Snowy Owls breed in late April and early May when prey is most abundant, with females constructing simple ditch-like nests on the ground and lining them with soft vegetation and their own shed feathers. A typical clutch size for this species is around 5-8 eggs, with females incubating the eggs and protecting the chicks while males bring prey back to the nest, depositing any excess food in hidden cashes nearby. Among various threats to this species (including habitat loss and changes in seasonal prey populations due to climate change), a high demand for the remains of Snowy Owls for use in taxidermy has historically posed a threat to wild populations, but as the impact of humans on Snowy Owl populations has come to be better understood this practice is beginning to be phased out.

New pfp and name! I was originally randomari but now I’m owlghosts9, just to let y’all know. I rly like owls. Snowy owls, in particular. Now some fun facts about me bc I don’t rlly talk much about myself.

I’ve had a Ninjago hyperfixation since I was 9

My favorite seasons (not including Dragons Rising) are Seabound and Sons of Garmadon

My favourite character was Zane until I was about 11 and then it became Jay and then Kai and now I don’t really know

I’ve been very interested in snowy owls since I was 8

First time I read Percy Jackson I was 8, and then I tried to read the second book but I didn’t like it for some reason and at 10 I forced myself to and then I finished the series and I really liked it so it was worth it

But I didn’t know Heroes of Olympus existed so I only read that when I was 13

My favourite PJO characters include Grover, Thalia, Nico, Annabeth, and Jason

I’m a daughter of Hades

uh that’s it!!

While winter is often associated with dwindling daylight and sub-zero temperatures, there’s a major silver lining to the season for wildlife lovers. The changing seasons bring massive flocks of migratory birds along North America’s many flyways, with ideal birding destinations spanning from the California coast to the eastern reaches of Massachusetts. For any birding aficionados out there, the following regions offer some of the finest sea duck, raptor, and shorebird sightings in all of the nation.
