Typically, the owls are seldom seen south of the Canadian border but sightings have become more common this year. Conservation experts say the snowy owls are on the move this winter because they’re not finding enough to eat up North. The population of lemmings, one of the snowy owls’ main sources of food, is down right now. Some snowy owls have been seen as far south as Kansas.
