It’s looking like another big winter for snowy owls in Wisconsin.
Numerous sightings have been reported of the big birds staging their annual mass migration south from Canada, including reports from across Langlade County.
“Four are gracing the landscape in Langlade County,” Marge Gibson, executive director of the Antigo-based Raptor Education Group Inc., said. “If you go to take photos please keep a respectful distance as they hunt during the day and human interference distracts them for hunting and in fact may keep their prey away from them. In their natural environment they eat lemmings, which is a rodent. Wisconsin does not have lemmings, but many other rodents including mice, rats and rabbits.”
