Alaska is home to over 10 species of owls.
Great Horned, Boreal, Northern Saw-whet, Northern Hawk, and Great Gray to name a few observed here in south central Alaska. Some of the largest owls, the Great Gray Owl and the Snowy Owl, are two feet in length, and can detect rodents under a few feet of snow. These are a few โsnow angelโ markings from hunting owls here in Willow Alaska. During the Midnight Sun nocturnal owls adapt to the near-constant daylight of summer by hunting during twilight and some will hunt during day time hours.
