Snowies: The Most Beautiful Birds in the Arctic

Snowy Owls, also knows as Snowies, Arctic Owls or Great White Owls are the species Bubo scandiacus (formerly Nyctea scandiaca). These white arctic birds are some of nature's most beautiful and graceful creatures.

I have always love the majestic beauty of the snowy owl. I've never been lucky enough to see one myself in the wild, but I think that would be an amazing experience.

    Every few years Snowy Owls come as far south as Washington state in the winter and I was fortunate to be able to see one that was hanging out in Seattle. They are absolutely magnificent! Great lens,
