Description: |
Snowy owls reside in the Arctic during the summers and fly south in the winter. Some of these birds make it to U.S. states, including Michigan. The birds' size and flight patterns make them especially hazardous in airfields. NWRC Researchers have worked with Michigan Wildlife Services and other groups to trap and relocate snowy owls in Michigan. The birds were also outfitted with transmitters, which provided valuable data about snowy owl behavior and movement |
