This year appears to be shaping up as one. Humans should stay as far away from these owls as possible,, and not draw attention to their presence. Because of their incredible beauty, they are a favorite of every Tom Dick and Harry who fancies themselves a “wildlife photographer”. These amatuers often buy pet store mice, and bait snowies (mice tied to fishing line on a reel, I kid not) to get “talons out” photos. They can sell these photos as stock images. (They do this with other owls as well) here’s more info :https://www.projectsnowstorm.org/no-need-to-feed-snowy-owls/. People need to learn that the natural world exists for itself, not for our entertainment.
