Description
Snowy Owl Portrait.
For a bird that calls northern Canada it's home, It's rare to spot a Snowy Owl in Southern California. But, in December 2022, it indeed was a rare occurence of a Snowy Owl who took up temporary residence in the Cypress neighborhood, near Long Beach, CA. By January 20, 2023, the Owl left, leaving lots of questions. We may never know how this owl made it to Cypress, but perhaps it hitched a ride on a ship or maybe took a migratory flight along the coast.
Snowy owls are classified as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources’ 2021 Red List of Threatened Species. There are fewer than 500,000 snowy owls in the world, which isn’t a huge number “when it comes to birds,” according to Chris Spurgeon, program chair and member of the board of directors at the Pasadena Audubon Society, a local chapter of the National Audubon Society serving the Greater Pasadena area of California.
Perched on a residential roof-top, hundreds of people admired the owl some days, some have traveled hundreds of miles. Many photographers were among the watchers. One of the photographers, took a fabious portrait of the Owl with one foot tucked into it's chest, with visible talons. Credit to Nanci Lewis for the reference Photograph I used for this painting.
