Silent Repose - Snowy Owl

Snowy Owls are the Provincial bird of Quebec where sightings are more common.  I am not superstitious, but I consider it "lucky" to anyone who has spotted one.  A farmer's field provides a nourishing stopover for this snowy owl during her common winter sojourn in southern Canada.  Adult males are virtually pure white, females (and young) have dark scalloping as shown in my painting.  Most owls sleep during the day and hunt at night, but the snowy owl is active both day and night.
