Spotted
The Snowy Owl is a large, striking owl of the Arctic tundra, famous for its predominantly white plumage. It is largely diurnal, an adaptation to the continuous daylight of its breeding grounds.
Where to spot
Arctic tundra and open fields, dunes, and grasslands during winter irruptions, across the northern circumpolar regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable large size and pure white plumage (males are whiter, females have more barring). It often perches prominently on mounds, posts, or low structures in open, treeless landscapes.
When to spot
Largely diurnal, making it observable throughout the day. Best sought during winter irruptions in temperate zones or during the summer breeding season in the Arctic.

Snowy Owls are one of the heaviest owl species and can sometimes be seen hunting during broad daylight, especially during the long days of the Arctic summer, unlike most nocturnal owls.
