Snowy owl in Long Island, New York, USA
'Who' you laughing at?
Seems like this snowy owl thinks you're quite the hoot. Whether it's having a chuckle or a yawn, this wise flyer is right at home pretty much anywhere there's a chill in the air. While most common in snow-prone places such as Canada, Russia and Scandinavia, snowies have been spotted wintering as far south as the Gulf Coast of the United States. In addition to being well-travelled, these birds are notably long-lived – the oldest known wild specimen, originally banded in the US state of Massachusetts in the 1990s, was last seen at the ripe avian age of 23.
