Snowy Owl
The male snowy owl often has brilliant white plumage. The female snowy owl, as seen in this
photograph, is larger than the male and the white plumage is often marked by dark bars. The
colour of this owl serves as camouflage to the tundra environment in which it inhabits.
Even the young chicks, which hatch in the warmer weather, have plumage of brownish grey to
blend in with the rocks and lichen. MORE!
