Snowys perch on exposed points in the arctic because there are NO oak trees or
maple trees to sit in like a Red-tail does. When they come down to the Lower
48, they choose buildings, light poles, traffic signs, dock pilings, channel
markers, driftwood logs, and tippy-tops of lone trees. They go with what they
know.
Unless it was chasing a rabbit or some other prey species, a Snowy Owl would
never even consider hunting inside a forest, much less roost on a branch
halfway up a big ol' tree.
