  • Two snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus, formerly Nyctea scandiaca) rest together on a log near Boundary Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Snowy owls, like other owls, typically hunt at night and rest during the day. Snowy owls are rarely found as far south as the Canada/United States border, but do migrate that far once or twice a decade in a type of migration known as an irruption. Irruptions occur when the snowy owl population is too large for the food supply on the Arctic tundra, forcing them to spread out much farther than normal.

Irruptions happen when the snowy owl population is too large for the available food supply on the Arctic tundra.

  • Two snowy owls (Nyctea scandiaca) rest on a log at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington. Owls typically rest during the day and hunt at night. Used to the open tundra, however, snowy owls rest on the ground, rather than on high perches. Snowy owls, which spend the summer in the northern circumpolar region north of 60 degrees latitude, have a typical winter range that includes Alaska, Canada and northern Eurasia. Every several years, for reasons still unexplained, the snowy owls migrate much farther south in an event known as an irruption. During one irruption, a snowy owl was found as far south as the Caribbean. During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls. Snowy owls tend to prefer coastal and plains areas, which most resemble the open tundra that serves as their typical home.

  • A snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) rests in an old stump at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington.
