Snowy Owl in Flight (by Alex Thomson13)

Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large owl of the typical owl family Strigidae. At the extreme northern margins of the arctic tundra lives the Snowy Owl, the northernmost, heaviest, and most distinctively marked owl of North America. Largely diurnal, it spends much of its time perched still and silent on prominent lookouts, waiting to make forays for prey.
