Like barn owls, they are more likely to be seen in midday that other owls. Barred owls are very common here, but are heard much more than seen. Snowies only rarely come down into northern or central Illinois, I've read that it's more common for first-year males to venture the farthest south. Unfortunately, the second time one hears reports of one being in this area, it is likely to hear that some moron has shot it. What is exciting in my region is that Bald Eagles have started breeding here again, and can be seen in summer sometimes, not only in winter when they congregate near patches of open water on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Sometimes I get to see one over the field just north of our property. Perhaps there will be future photography opportunities.
Let me second the applause for the photographs of these snowies! An enviable technical and artistic feat!
