The snowy owl and many other types of owls are endangered. Most owls are endangered except for a few. There are no species of endangered owl in North America. Below is the official status for NA owls, by species. Although some local populations of these species are in some trouble (i.e., northern spotted owl) by no means are most owl species endangered.
Snowy owls affect the populations of animals that they eat. For example, one owl may kill more than 1,600 lemmings in one year. Snowy owls also compete with many other species for lemmings and other prey.owever, in years when there is very little food, snowy owls do not try to breed. Snowy owls usually lay one clutch of eggs each year. However, if their eggs or chicks die early in the breeding season, a breeding pair may lay another clutch of eggs.
