One of the whitest males I have seen until now. From a distance, I couldn't even tell that there was an owl on the pole. As I got closer I saw the beautiful eyes and realized it was a Snowy owl perched on it's prime habitat looking for some mid afternoon snacks Snowy Owl

Hey one of those people looks familiar! Not our @birddnerd representing Biological Sciences!
Hope to see you all on Tuesday April 9, 2024 for NDSU's Undergraduate student research day in the Memorial Union. This is a great opportunity to support our researchers and hear about the exciting research happening right here at NDSU.

It's crazy to think that these two species of woodpeckers aren't related at all and the similarities between them is based on convergent evolution. Photo: Gary Mueller

Have you ever seen a Snowy Owl and a Horse in a single shot? This was a shot I never expected I'd take, but in the January of 2021, as I was driving around the Sax Zim Bog, I saw a horse looking down on something...first I thought it was a snowball...later realized its an owl

A Facebook Live video purportedly shows the last moments inside the cabin on Yeti Airlines flight 691 before it crashed in Nepal. CNN has corroborated the video based on geolocation, a flight manifest and information on the Yeti Airlines website. Watch: cnn.it/3Xj8fsm
