Snowly Owl

Snowy Owls lead nomadic lives and travel vast distances from year to year searching for productive feeding areas. Some years, most recently in the winter of 2011/2012, conditions cause them to come south in great numbers. Get an intimate look at these white owls from the north through video and photographs captured by the Cornell Lab's, Gerrit Vyn. #birds #owls #snowyowl

In honour of the 150th Anniversary of Confederation, Hinterland Who’s Who has been releasing special videos about some of our most iconic wildlife and their impact on our country’s history and culture. The last featured species is the Snowy Owl! There are few creatures that symbolize the beauty and ruggedness of Canada’s Arctic as well as this majestic white bird. While it is well adapted to life in -50°C, some individuals will migrate to southern Canada for the winter months. Throughout history, the Inuit peoples of Canada have shared territory with Snowy Owls, and because of that, these owls appear in their legends, art and traditions.
