Our fifth grade class spent the morning watching a snowy owl at the Grand Marais Harbor near the Coast Guard Station Wednesday. We found the Canada Goose carcass that it had been standing on the night before (when our teacher first saw it ). We observed the owl standing along the water's edge west of the Coast Guard buildings, flying, and perched on the large rocks on the East Bay side. It flew to the rocks near the west harbor break wall about an hour and a half later.
We're wondering about the owl and the goose it ate. A goose seems so large for a snowy owl to catch. Can anyone tell us if this is normal? Ann Russ' fifth grade class
