The regal Snowy Owl is one of the few birds that can get even non-birders to come out for a look. This largest (by weight) North American owl shows up irregularly in winter to hunt in windswept fields or dunes, a pale shape with catlike yellow eyes.
They spend summers far north of the Arctic Circle hunting lemmings, ptarmigan, and other prey in 24-hour daylight. In years of lemming population booms they can raise double or triple the usual number of young.
Although their population is slowly decreasing, snowy owls are currently classified as population stable.
During the winter, they are seen in the Northern United States, however during warmer seasons the populations push north into Alaska and Canada.

Snowy Owls are famous for their bright white feathers. Their big eyes allow them to see their prey in most conditions.
