Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) - BC

This is an old photo from my archives.

 

Snowy Owls are not fairing well and are decreasing in the arctic and are impacted by climate change. They are losing their habitat and their prey is reduced due to warmer temperatures causing ice and negatively impacting their main prey lemmings. It is always such a special treat to see one of these beautiful diurnal owls.
