2015 (2016) Canada $20 Snowy Owl Fine Silver coin (TAX Exempt)

Majestic, powerful and hauntingly silent in flight, the Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) embodies the enigmatic nature of Canada's Arctic region. It is one of the largest owl species and contrary to common belief, can see equally well day or night-an ability that is particularly important for this northern resident that must hunt under the midnight sun of the Arctic summer.
