 The Snowy Owl is a bird of Arctic tundra or open grasslands and fields. They are hardly seen in the forested areas. They love to dwell along lakeshores, marine coastlines, marshes, and even roost on buildings in cities and towns. In the Arctic, they normally roost on pingaluks (rises in the tundra) and breed from low valley floors up to mountain slopes and plateaus over 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) in elevation. The population of the snowy owl is widespread almost in the whole arctic regions and North America. In Canada, the snowy owl is the official bird of Quebec.
