Oldest Recorded Snowy Owl

In terms of size, male Snowy Owls are typically smaller and exhibit a whiter plumage compared to females, with males becoming increasingly white as they age. On the other hand, females are larger and often display some brown and dark patterns on their feathers. The longest-living wild Snowy Owl recorded was at least 23 years and 10 months old when she was recaptured and released in 2015 during a banding effort in Massachusetts.
