GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A flurry of snowy owls has been seen across West Michigan this winter and as the days get longer, the owls are being called by instinct back to the north.
Reports of snowy owls have been much more prevalent this year and were expected by scientists. On Thursday, one was seen keeping watch over the WOOD TV studios from its perch next door at a construction site. Snowy owls will frequently look for wide-open spaces or spots that resemble the arctic tundra.
