Snowy Owls made the local news recently. We are hoping to spot one while out at Saltwater Park. Our restoration plan includes the consideration of their habitat needs as our site is within their winter habitation range.

"In general the Snowy Owl inhabits areas of low sparse vegetation, open fields, moorland, valley floors, salt and poorly drained fresh water meadows. Its habitat is closely associated with the distribution of small rodents and in the case of breeding territory directly corresponds with the distribution of small rodents (especially lemming). In the winter it is often found in farming areas with open fields of low stubble, marshes, and even dunes."
