It is good to see the return of the snowy owls along the coast. I was lucky enough to find a couple of them on a recent Sunday morning. This one was found along the New Hampshire coast, enjoying the sun along a breakwater. Hopefully more to come, perhaps along the Marblehead coast as in years past.
Snowy owls (bubo scandiacus), distinguished by their striking white plumage and piercing yellow eyes, are native to the Arctic tundra but have become notable winter visitors to Massachusetts.
The Marblehead Current is proud to partner with photographer Rick Cuzner. Over the past 16 years he has taken thousands of nature photographs.
