Snowy owls breed in May. They build their nest (called a scrape) on a boulder or mound as to have a good vantage point of the area around them for better hunting and to keep a watchful eye on potential predators. Five to 14 eggs are laid, with one egg being laid every other day. The eggs hatch after about five weeks and both parents care for and defend the young.
