Why are so many snowy owls showing up in places so far south from the Arctic?
They are the elite Climate Adaptation Testing Team sent south by Arctic Owl Central Command to figure out and report back on how easy or hard it will be to survive when there is no ice or snow up there.

Hey, is that a Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat?
Any owl is cool in my book. You’ll see me out in the backyard whenever an owl rears its head and takes flight.
We live in south east Michigan about 35 miles north east of Detroit on the Canadian border. About 10 years ago snowy owls started showing up in our neighborhood and in our backyard.
This is the roof of our neighbors house about 200 feet away. The owl is watching our bird feeder looking for an easy meal. That’s one of our squirrels that may or may not have known the danger but we chased him back in his house.
This one was also in a neighbor’s tree. This was the first one we ever saw.
And one more that visited.
