Summary
editDescriptionDSC02133 - Snowy Owls (30955757448).jpg |
English: Two snowy owls, also known as white owls, stand haughtily holding sway over the prices, spirits and elves that populate the woods.
For ages, the owl has had a hold on humans. In ancient Greece, it was the goddess Athena’s bird and the embodiment of wisdom. It is also seen as an omen. The Celts thought it was a night witch that sought out corpses. Africans associated it with magic and used its head in their talismans. Closer to home, the snowy owl has been the official bird of Quebec since 1987. Adult owls are pure white, and the snowy owl nests in the province’s northern tundra. Snowy owls are found mainly in Arctic under, in Canada’s far North, from the Yukon Territory to Labrador. They have excellent day and night vision, allowing them to detect movement from a kilometre away. Their sense of hearing is extremely well developed. |
