Only 200 birds were found dead in Arkansas this New Year's as opposed to the thousands found last year. Really cool snowy owl video from Cornell:

Snowy Owls lead nomadic lives and travel vast distances from year to year searching for productive feeding areas.

Get an intimate look at these white owls from the north through video and photographs captured by the Cornell Lab's, Gerrit Vyn.
