      This might be a dumb question, but what do owls have to do with Hogworts? I've seen a lot of people make that reference but haven't really understood it. Is it just because its some old castle thing?

      The witches in the books keep them as pets, and use them to send/receive mail. A snowy owl is a pretty major character as it is the pet Harry chooses in the first book.

      READ THEM, they are fantastic.

    First comes the cold, and then a tide of owls. The book of revelation is coming true!

    I love owls. I get giddy when I see one in the wild. I love that they are "trendy" right now and you get get owl t-shirts and other ephemera. I even love telling the story of how a great horned owl swooped down to consider eating my chihuahua and thought the better of it (he is not a big mouse, after all and has teeth and claws).

      I saw a Great Horned while on a walk 2 years ago and almost broke my phone trying to get it out for a picture.

      That Owl in the grill story killed me. He's saying, "ain't this a bitch..."

    How did you find these videos? Did you search "Boring Snowy Owls"? Not a single lemming eaten, nor any other creature. Not even a single flight taken. This is top notch boredom here.

      They flew off at the end of two videos, probably because they saw something they wanted to check out, maybe something good to eat.

    I used to work right in the center of Custer State Park in SD. I saw a Snowy Owl one evening coming in to work and told a few people. The park rangers all but swore I was lying "because they are NEVER seen this far south." I could see where people wouldn't even report an unusual sighting.

      They showed up in upstate NY/PA, right by Lake Erie. On the route I usually take home, one of them got hit by a vehicle. It's legs were stuck in the grill. It was taken to a local rehab place, but sadly, it's spine was deteriorating, probably from the accident, and it had to be put down. It was probably diving towards a critter in the vineyards & that's how it met up with the vehicle. I was just crushed. There's supposedly 6 or so hanging around Presque Isle, which I am sure is a huge buffet for them.

        I "starred" this not for the poor owl's death by car, but for the upstate owl news in general.

        If anyone is interested in this particular owl's story (no bloody, mangled photos of it, really) AND, AND..a much happier story about a beautiful all white red tailed hawk, you can check out these folks on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tamarackwildli… or just look up Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation in Pennsylvania. Fantastic people!

      I have a shitty memory, but one of the memories that will NEVER leave me is the night I was three or four and a snowy owl ran SMACK into our living room window. It had been a particularly hard winter, I remember (somehow) and it must have been seeking heat in the Winnipeg deep freeze. My father went outside to see if it was okay and reported it got up looking confused and then flew off. I don't know what it means, but the symbolist in me and the New Age Hippie can't help but think it means something. These birds are something special.

          Further research on Wikipedia has led to interesting photographic evidence of their eating habits:
