Acadia National Park - Meet a Snowy Owl

Grace, a snowy owl, introduces herself and shares her fame from documentaries and Harry Potter. She explains her adaptations to cold climates, including her white feathers for camouflage. Snowy owls have unique eyes that are fixed and tube-shaped, requiring head movement for vision. They are skilled hunters, using silent flight and keen hearing to catch prey. Unlike other owls, snowy owls can hunt during the day, adapting to Arctic conditions. Grace concludes by highlighting her role as Acadia's Winter Ghost.
