Snowy Owl - Nyctea scandiaca

A snowy owl is a bird similar to an eagle but it has a large head and eyes. An owl looks as though its face is pushed in, the beak is hooked and it has claws like those of an eagle.

Snowy owls feed on mice, rats, birds and also fish. Owls are night birds, they fly during the night hunting for food, even when it is a dark night.

Snowy owls are not seen around here very often. They are seen sometimes but only during the winters.
