Snowy Owls: Daytime Hunters of the Arctic

Contrary to their many cousins on the family tree who are mainly nocturnal, the snowy owl is diurnal in order to take full advantage of the continuous daylight of their arctic summer home in their pursuit of their favorite treat, the lemming. Their corresponding high visibility also makes them a popular owl ambassador even among non-bird watchers. From their big, piercing yellow eyes to their distinctive feathers, the snowy owl is such a beloved subject for the artists at Herend that this introduction represents an encore as a member of the Reserve Collection.
