Sad Snowy Owl news: Their population in North America has dropped dramatically over the last decade - by around 64%. Now, scientists are closely monitoring the breeding patterns not just of snowy owls, but also of lemmings. As the birds’ main prey, the local rodent population has a huge effect on owl numbers.

@ElizabethHethera Жыл бұрын

Oh I just read about this, indeed sad news!! Interesting on the lemmings research, as it DOES make sense that scientists know what's happening with their primary food source. Such a tremendous creature 🦉 So, sooo special 🙏

This is one of my favorite episodes. The Snowy Owl has been my favorite flying bird ever since I first learned about it on a nature documentary when I was younger. The fact that it can hunt and fly at near silent is such an impressive adaptation. Great content as always, Animalogic.

@batfurs3001 Жыл бұрын

All owls can fly silently! They are all also SUPER soft. Except the sharp bits, of course. I personally prefer the sooty owl, eurasian eagle owl and some of the owls native to where I live over the snowy owl, but that's just because owls are all so goddamn cool. Snowy owls are definitely the most stunning looks wise out of all the owls

Snowy owls like most owl species have asymmetrical ears. One ear is slightly higher than the other which allows them even greater hearing than normal. This tiny difference in vertical hearing is called interaural timing difference. It lets owls pinpoint their preys position from above. We also have interaural timing difference but ours only works horizontally, usually from ground level.

I was fortunate enough to photograph a snowy owl that had decided to visit Cambridge, MD last year due to an irruption. It took me several tries over a couple weeks because the owl would just hang out on a pier on a bench and wouldn’t move even an inch. One day, after standing still for about 6 hours with my eye glued to the camera, a Great Blue Heron landed about 6 ft from the owl which I guess was enough for it to take off for about 30 seconds and let me take about 400 shots. It was one of the most glorious moments in my wildlife photography so far. I hope to one day photograph them on their Arctic turf.

Certain birds look up into storm-fall, hail, rain, snow; it takes advantage of streamlined profile deflecting the falling precipitation and direction of wind-flow as the feathers are designed: but under the feathers against the skin, any rising heat in this position is directed up the full length of the body and neck like a chimney of feathers; using as much body heat as it generates to flow up beneath the insulating feathers, keeping as cohesively warm as weather conditions allow.
