Hold said he knew it can fend for itself just fine. He has more than three decades of experience studying the birds in Alaska. He shared a photo with Eyewitness News of him, alongside his colleague, under attack after a father bird decided they were too close to his babies.Holt said we may never know how this owl made it to Cypress, but perhaps it hitched a ride on a ship or maybe took a migratory flight along the coast.
"It looks like, what I would call, a female. A first-year female and she's probably - she arrived in November - she would've been maybe 5 months old. So now, she's maybe 7 months old or so," Holt said. "She probably hatched in mid-to-late June and this is her first migration south." Holt was scheduled to elaborate on how he came to this conclusion, his research on snowy owls and their breeding during his talk.
Those attending had a chance to take a closer look at a couple pellets from the O.C. owl. At least one shows she enjoyed a pocket gopher. "That pocket gopher here is a pretty good size pocket gopher. So at least it's eating pocket gophers. It's probably eating other things," Holt said. "I think there's a photograph of it eating a coot, but the fact that it's here for over a month is a great indication that it's probably doing well."
Back to Hogwart’s?! Lol 😂
