*** About Snowy Owls: Snowy owls, scientifically known as Bubo scandiacus, are distinguished by their brilliant white plumage, which provides excellent camouflage in their native Arctic habitats. These birds are among the largest species of owls, known for their striking appearance and formidable hunting skills. Adapted to life in the Arctic tundra, snowy owls nest on the ground and are diurnal, hunting mostly during daylight hours. Their diet primarily consists of small mammals, with a particular preference for lemmings. Snowy owls have also been observed in areas like Vancouver Island during migration, which adds a special allure to their presence far from their typical environs.:
