December 20, 2017 - West Alton, Missouri, United States: An immature female Snowy Owl perches on a metal railing at the Lincoln Shields Recreation area after the sun set on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017, in West Alton, Missouri, 30 miles north of St. Louis. The lights of Alton, Ill. are across the river in the background. The bird became more active after the sun went down. The snowy owl is a large, white owl of the typical owl family. Snowy owls are native to Arctic regions in North America and Eurasia. Males are almost all white, while females have more flecks of black plumage. Juvenile snowy owls have black feathers until they turn white. The snowy owl is a ground nester that primarily hunts rodents and waterfowl and opportunistically eats carrion. (J.B.
