T
he Snowy Owl (Bubo Scandiacus) as owls go, is a rarity
amongst rarities. “Uncommon” is the word used by the field
guides. Owls are generally nocturnal and reclusive. Hiding in
holes or blending into the bark, owl’s feather patterns create
the ultimate camouflage. So when the large white bird visits
us from the Arctic it is an event. An event that travels at the
speed of the internet. An event that creates controversies
through out the birding world.
Without snow in this their southern region, Snowys stick
out like a sore thumb. They can be found perched on fence
posts , dunes, or any high point overlooking a broad hunting
area. Feeding on rodents, rabbits, and a variety of waterfowl,
daytime hours may find them sitting for long periods of time
doing absolutely nothing.
