@moniia25: No audio so you can hear the Peregrine Falcon! For the past two days we missed out on watching the local Peregrines swoop and dive at the Snowy owls. We got to experience it for a short bit today! While I didnt get the full encounter on camera, here you can see how the owl was reacting as the Peregrine was just out of frame! So cool! #montrose #chicago #birdwatching #owls #snowyowl

Mar Land :

The poor owl looks so scared!

Heidi :

You mean to tell me there are snowy owls just chilling in plain sight in Chicago? I thought I was gonna have to trek through the arctic northern forests of Canada to find those guys. Life long dream

Novus⁷ :

wow. wish I went to see the snowy owls at Montrose.

We need to protect those beautiful birds! 😭❤

Jersey Tomato :

NJ birder here. That imm female Snowy Owl is presenting defensive posture-hunched over, fluffed out, wings spread. Peregrine is probably creating a disturbance to get any shorebirds to take flight.

Willow Henry :

Interesting how different North American peregrines sound compared to the ones here in Ireland.

Grace Barnes :

Does anyone know how long the snowys will be here for in Chicago?

✨livin_la_vidaeva ✨🇵🇪🇵🇷 :

Are snow owls okay to be around that area or is it lost?

coco.coco.60640 :

they live on the buildings along the lake, like cliffs

𝓴𝓮𝓵𝓵𝔂 :
