White Owl
Posted on 18 March 2006
An owl pictured inside it’s enclosure at Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago. The faint lines are the thin bars of the cage.
I love the eye!

Beautiful bird, such snowy white feathers!
Going over to Ryan’s.
Good shout, Micki. Looks like a snowy owl to me!
The light really brings out the detail in it’s feathers. Love this shot, what an expression!
Another great bird shot! I love the detail in these images.
Thanks guys, I’m finally catching up on my photoblog viewing. My list gets bigger and bigger though, and I don’t have time to comment on all the great shots I spot!
This photo is of a female Snowy Owl. It has never been called a “white” owl. The female is speckled as you can see. The male is pure white and slightly smaller. She lives with a male. He was in the outdoor enclosure with her. Too bad you didn’t get his photo since it would have been nice for a comparison. Males are always smaller than females in the bird of prey group. The owl’s eyes are stationary in the sockets. That is why the owl’s head turns completely around.
this owl is really pretty
Hello Everyone
Im leaving comment because after taking a ride yesterday out on some old snowy country roads , (roads that seldom get traveled , and right before it got dark ) I noticed a pure white rather large bird flying in the field beside me……I live three hrs south of Chicago and was driving slow because the road I was on hadnt even been cleared of snow and we have about 8 inches on the ground. So the first thought that came to my mind was….”whats that seasgul from the lake 5 miles away doing way out here by its self.?”….( it was starting to get alittle dark but with all the snow it still had a brightness about it ) Then I noticed this bird was actually flying along with my driving and then very much to my suprise when I almost came to a complete stop to get across the old rail road tracks because the crossing was rough…..the bright white bird flew over towards me and lit on the RR crossing sign maby only 8 ft from me, It then looked straight at me and gave me the suprise of my life……..It was not a white gull……….it was a pure….pure….pure white owl !!! very large for an owl……or maby it would be better said by saying, “by no means was it a small owl”……I have lived here 50 years and have never ever seen a white owl…….I regret not totally stopping the truck to stop and stare at the owl but I was partially on a RR track and thats not a good place to sit and ponder…….WHAT KIND OF OWL DID I POSSIBLY SEE ?……Any comments would be appreciated !……
Thank You
Paul Wright
