Snowy Owl - Melissa's Playground, BC
Those feet double as snow shoes when this female bird is in the breeding range north of the artic circle. The talons doubles a back scratcher, but are mainly used for grabbing food on the fly. This bird decided to spend some of her time in one of the small towns on Victoria Island and hunt from the roof tops. The one particular thing we noticed was she started ducking down keeping her head on close to the roof when a couple of Bald Eagles made their way over her location.
