Forecast: Snowy With Light Snow (Zoom In To See Detail)
This snowy owl is making his way to the far north. On this day he has to put up with a light snow flurry on a very blustery day. Not much of a challenge to a bird built to withstand nasty cold weather. This species is the heaviest Canadian owl but the Great Grey is the biggest based on length. There is also a bit of contention around its Latin name, thanks to genetic testing. You can read a bit about it on the internet: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_owl.
