  • Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
  • Snowy Owls lead nomadic lives and travel vast distances from year to year searching for productive feeding areas. Some years, most recently in the winter of 2011/2012, conditions cause them to come south in great numbers.
    Get an intimate look at these white owls from the north through video and photographs captured by the Cornell Lab's, Gerrit Vyn.

    Just saw my first Snowy Owl today at Little Talbot Island state park near Jacksonville, FL. Only the 3rd confirmed sighting in Florida. A great life bird to add and right in my backyard!

    I just could not help but to snicker when I saw some of their faces since I've seen similar looks from humans before their morning coffee. XD

    Well, for those in the southern portions of the United States, we could have bird feeders, and make a small habitat for SnowOwl packs. This will give a nice natural attraction, and possibly help in a small amount to prevent these birds from going instinct.

      Absolutely. I can see why so many people are enamored by this bird. It truly is unique and not only does it have the mystical lure of owls in general, that old, wise character, but that brilliant white color and the dark barring with those piercing yellow eyes and fury feet that hide those sharp talons for weapons, add to that allure. Not to mention the incredible hunting prowess these magnificent raptors possess.

    Such a beautiful animal, we have an Animal Ambassador named Yeti, he's a snowy owl who meets with kids in schools and at community events to inspire them to take action to protect biodiversity. Snowy owls are so astoundingly beautiful that everyone that meets Yeti can't help but be awed by the wonders of nature.

    Awesome !! I live on Vancouver Island, and watching the news, saw the report on the "Owl Invasion " in Ladner , on the mainland. Why didn't they stop here for a visit ?? The only one I've ever seen in the wild, was in Manitowadge Ontario, when I lived there in '70-'71. Beautiful , and awe inspiring experience !!

    A snowy owl was just down the road often on the same powerpole….watching the grassy field for food…..it was there for two years.. but havent seen it since..this was around 2010.’its 2023 now but I have moved since then so maybe its still hanging around! The snowy owl was in west michigan about five miles from Lake Michigan in muskegon county.

    We have an immature male snowy owl in Jasper County, Mo., in far southwest Missouri who has been here for about a month. I've seen him and photographed him three times. I'd video him, but I don't have nearly the equipment this person has. Beautiful job.

    i saw one in new york city, on the top edge of a highrise building. some seagulls were harassing it. he casually reached out and grabbed one, and ate it. about 15 years ago.
    it was bigger than i had thought from books. five years earlier, i saw one on a distant fencepost in a field in hopewell, NJ. it never moved. both sightings were late january.
