Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

Snowy owls have a short nesting period of around 8 weeks so that they can raise their young quickly and efficiently in the harsh Arctic environment. This enables the young owls to become independent and self-sufficient in a short amount of time before the onset of winter. Additionally, a shorter nesting period also reduces the risk of predators discovering the nest and harming the young owls.

Where do you find the snowy egret?
Bird. Feeding in the shallow areas of ponds and marshes, snowy egrets use one foot to stir up the bottom of the water, flushing prey into view. They will also chase schools of fish. A mating pair of snowy egrets cannot recognize each another except at the nest, where the returning egret performs a greeting ritual to avoid being attacked as an intruder. While in flight, the snowy egret holds his or her neck in an "S" curve. In the latter 19th century, their plumes were popularly used on hats. As a result, the birds were hunted until they were nearly extinct. They are now protected and the population has been slowly recovering

How do owls look after there young and what are owl pellets?
Owls do care for their young. In most species, both the male and female will take care of the young. They will take turns, even. One will sit on the eggs while its mate brings it food. Once the eggs are hatched, they will continue to take turns in incubating the young, and catching food for their mate and their chicks.
Owl pellets are, in the simplest terms, owl vomit. Owls cannot chew, and so they have to swallow their prey whole. Indigestible bits like fur, feathers, bones, and teeth, wind up in a tightly-packed 'pellet' that is regurgitated onto the ground.
It depends on what kind of owl it is. If its a snowy owl it would be normal to see a white one. If its a barn owl, or screech owl, etc. it would be rare if it was white. Snowy owls are white so they can blend in with their surroundings, as they live in a snowy enviorment.
What time do barn owls sleep and when do they wake up?
Every owl is different, but barn owls are nocturnal, which means they wake up at night and go to sleep as dawn arrives. There is no set exact time, but that is the general time.
