Snowy Owl

Snowy Owl adult males are predominantly white, with plumage ranging from lightly marked to almost entirely unmarked in older individuals. Sparse dark brown spots or bars may remain on the wings, back, and tail, while the breast and belly are usually white and the legs and feet are densely feathered. The rounded white facial disc frames yellow irises and a black bill partly concealed by facial feathers.
