and also where it migrates to.In it's large
nest dug in the ground the female will lay 3-11
eggs in a clutch. The clutch size depends on the
availability of prey. During harsh times of food shortage
some Snowy Owl pairs may not breed at all so they can
have the scarce prey to themselves and hopefully will
not run out. Also when Snowy Owls are raising their
chicks they are very territorial. They will chase away
large caribou and even wolves! The eggs are in
incubation for 32 days until they hatch. Chicks will
fledge in 14-26 days.
