Is a snowy owl a raptor?
All owls are raptors, or birds of prey. Which is to say they seize prey in their talons and kill it off with the beak usually. Even small owls like Burrowing or Flammulated owls, which eat insects largely, catch them this way. This is in contrast to a swallow or egret, which just use their mouth/beak, and don't have lethal talons.

Why owl being endangered?
The Flammulated Owl has not been formally listed as a threatened or endangered species. It is however considered a sensitive species or a species of concernt to a variety of entities. The Audubon Society includes the flammulated owl on their watch list due to the following:"Widely scattered across the mountains of western North America, its breeding range extends from southern British Columbia to northern Mexico. Flammulated Owls are migratory and winter from Mexico south to Guatemala.Further knowledge of specific habitat requirements is needed before analysis of trends can be fully understood. To date, scientists are uncertain of this species' status. Its secretive nature and widely scattered distribution make it very difficult to gauge population trends for this species. It is believed, however, that the population is declining due to increased habitat loss from forestry practices in the mountain west. "
