Tomcod
Snowy Owl
The great "Arctic Owl" is not infrequently found on Newfoundland's barren lands. These large white owls are forced south in great numbers when lemmings, their favorite food source, become scarce in the northern tundra regions. This owl begins to arrive in Newfoundland in September and some are reported as late as April.
"Like a silent whisper the snowy owl flew into a winter wilderness
As silently as she had come, silently she left
Tomorrow would be just another day."
