The massive snowy owl is the largest of the North American owls. Living far up north where in the summer there is 24 hours of daylight this owl has learned to hunt during the day and night in all seasons. Well insulated against frigid temperatures, the snowy owl’s feathers are white with distinct dark markings, a truly handsome bird. Bundle up warm if you plan to venture to the far north in hopes of catching a glimpse of this majestic owl.
