SNOWY OWLS

​

The ghost like snowy owl has unmistakable white plumage that echoes its Arctic origins.

​

These large owls breed on the Arctic tundra, where females lay a clutch of 3 to 11 eggs. Parents are territorial and will defend their nests against all comers—even wolves.

​

Young owls, especially males, get whiter as they get older. Females are darker than males, with dusky spotting, and never become totally white.
