Potcake is the name given to the dogs of the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos Islands. It came about because the locals fed the caked remains of the cooking pot to the dogs.
In North America, snowy owls are found during the breeding season from the western Aleutians in Alaska to northeastern Manitoba (Churchill), northern Quebec and northern Labrador in Canada. In the winter, they can regularly be found in the northern United States.
1 Not all owl species are nocturnal. 2  How often an owl is seen during the day depends on the seasonal amount of daylight and darkness, food supplies and habitat. 3  Most owls do not migrate but they can be nomadic in searching for the best food sources. 4  Some species, such as the snowy owl, have regular irruptions. Several owls species have ear tufts on their heads but they aren't ears at all. 2  These tufts of feathers may indicate the bird's mood, help keep it camouflaged or be used to show aggression.
