Omaha World-Herald wrote:LINCOLN (AP) — Snowy owls from the Arctic are being spotted in Nebraska and other Plains states this winter because greater numbers of the bird migrated farther south this year in search of food.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said 58 sightings of snowy owls have been recorded in the state.
"It's an exceptional year — perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime invasion for the species," said Joel Jorgensen, the state agency's nongame bird specialist.
