🦉 Fun Fact: Snowy Owls Love Northwest Alberta!

If you’ve spotted a flash of white wings across the winter landscape, you’re not imagining things. Snowy owls regularly visit our region.

Here's why our northern prairies are perfect for these stunning Arctic birds:

❄️ Born for the cold: Snowy owls thrive in wide-open, snowy environments, and our northern prairies match their Arctic habitat.

🐭 Plenty of prey: With abundant voles, mice, and small mammals, our area provides plenty of food for these snowy visitors.

🌬️ Open landscapes: Fields and farmland give them the perfect hunting grounds to spot prey from far away.

🧭 Irruption visitors: Some winters, snowy owls travel farther south when Arctic food supplies are low, bringing more of them to our region.
