Aerial observer

A snowy owl circles its nest outside Barrow, the northernmost town in the United States. Snowy owls are so aggressive about protecting their eggs from predators -- such as Arctic foxes -- that other birds often make their nests nearby. Owls typically eat rodent-like lemmings, but the number of both on the tundra outside Barrow has been low for several years. (Steve Ringman / The Seattle Times, 2005)
