The stubby legs of a sanderling may not look like much at first, but boy can these babies skedaddle when they need to
Sanderling (Calidris alba)

Guess hoo? It’s the Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus), of course! This majestic bird of prey is easily identified by its white plumage and piercing yellow eyes. It can be found north of the Arctic Circle year round, but often travels south during winter. In the United States, this bird has been observed as far from home as Florida and Texas. Unlike many owls, this species is primarily diurnal—meaning that it hunts by daylight. This owl feeds on a variety of small mammals and birds, but its favorite snack is lemmings. A single Snowy Owl can eat more than 1,600 lemmings a year!
