Sighting of snowy owl at Shelburne Farms enhances winter beauty Dan D Ambrosio, Burlington Free Press © Courtesy of Jan Leja A snowy owl seen on Friday evening, Jan. 8, 2021, at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, Vermont. A snowy owl nestled near the top of a small branch on a tree at Shelburne Farms on Friday evening, framed by blue sky in a captivating photo taken by Jan Leja. They re beautiful birds, said Mark LaBarr, conservation manager for Audubon Vermont. They can be a rare thing to see in Vermont, but when they do show up, sometimes they show up in numbers. The mostly white owls live above the Arctic Circle, LaBarr said, but sometimes head south in the winter in search of food. They eat small rodents, using their dish-shaped faces to focus their hearing and sight, able to rotate their head nearly 360 degrees to detect the slightest movement of mice and voles, even under the snow.
