Snowy Owl

The Snowy Owl (Nyctea scandiaca) lives at the extreme northern margins of the arctic tundra. It is the northernmost, heaviest, and most distinctively marked owl of North America. In general Nyctea scandiaca inhabits areas of low sparse vegetation, open fields, moorland, valley floors, salt and poorly drained fresh water meadows. Largely diurnal, it spends much of its time perched still and silent on prominent lookouts, waiting to make forays for prey. It grows to a body size of 20-28 inches with a wingspan of 4.5-5.5 feet.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
