hi my name is marcus. i have all ways been interested in falconry since i saw movies like lady hawk and my side of the mountain. i live in a village as far north as you can get and still be in the great USofA. the inupiat word for this village translated is snowy owl or a place to hunt snowy owls (ukpeagvik). we call it Barrow AK, the reason is because this is the last place the snowy owls stop before nesting and are usually here all summer witch isn't all that long but a lot of times we will get a couple that will stay through the winter.they are a beautiful bird and a deadly hunter.so my goal is to have one as my own. if any one has any info on these bird i would love to here it. ;D
