US-1495082 Snowy Owl (postcard), Northern Saw-whet Owl (stamp)

Mary from the United States sent me an amazing card with a pair of Snowy Owl and a stamp with The Northern Saw-whet Owl.

1. Snowy Owl (Nyctea scandiaca)

About postcard: By John James Audubon, 1987 Dover Publications, Inc.

2. Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus).

Release date: May 28, 1988. 

The Northern Saw-whet Owl has a round, light, white face with brown and cream streaks; they also have a dark beak and yellow eyes. They resemble the Short-eared Owl, because they also lack ear tufts, but are much smaller. The underparts are pale with dark shaded areas; the upper parts are brown or reddish with white spots. They are quite common, but hard to spot.
