Description

A snowy Owl also known as the Arctic Owl and Great White are found during the breeding season from the western Aleutians in Alaska to northeastern Manitoba, northern Quebec (where this photo was taken) and northern Labrador in Canada. In the winter, they can also be found in the northern United States and on occasion they can be seen as far south as central California as well as in Texas and Florida.

Unlike most other owls, Snowy Owls hunt mainly in the daytime. They are highly nomadic and their movements are linked to the abundance of their primary prey, Lemmings. They are aggressively defensive of their nests and will attack anything that tries to disturb it.
