A snowy owl is causing something of a sensation in the nation's capital — looking down with startling yellow eyes from perches not far from the U.S. Capitol and drawing flocks of amateur wildlife photographers to brave cold, winter nights trying to capture its one-of-a-kind stare.
The owl, predominately native to the Arctic tundra, has curious crowds hoping to spot it around the city, posing on top of Union Station, the National Postal Museum and Capitol Police headquarters.
The snowy owl's migration patterns often take it south for the winter from its summer breeding grounds in Canada, but the species has rarely been seen as far away as Washington and the surrounding region. https://abcn.ws/31ZKcaG
