Rare Snowy Owl Spotted in New York’s Central Park for First Time in 130 Years.
A snowy owl was spotted in New York City's Central Park for the first time in 130 years, The New York Times reported.
Snowy owls, found in the high Arctic tundra, are known to venture south during the winter, often looking for prey, according to the Audubon Society. Although the owls are abundant in North America, generally avoiding the threat of human disturbance, they are at risk for climate change. If the planet continues to warm, their range will decrease, eventually shifting out of the lower 48, the Audubon Society notes.
