Stories of the snowy owl in Eyou Istchee

The Snowy Owl is found mostly in northern Quebec and in the arctic regions. The owl roams in the wooded area looking for its prey. This bird can kill a fox with its huge claws. Recently, in the Saguenay region, a women was attacked by an owl. Elder Job Kawapit from Whapmagoostui, will tell us about the behaviour of the animal.
