Nyctea scandiaca Typically a bird of the tundra, these beautiful large owls have been seen in the U.S. as far south as Oklahoma. This miniature is 4X6 inches. The striking translucence of the alabaster captures the etherial nature of these hunters. The piece is even more striking when back-lit. It may be seen at the Ducktrap Bay Trading Co. Gallery. |
