Snowy Owl
The Snowy Owl is usually a resident of the arctic but this year has seen a historic migration to the lower 48. They are one of the largest owls in the world and typically feed on lemmings in the arctic tundra and it is thought that when there is a significant drop in the lemming population they will head south in search of food. As you can see this one obviously has been a successful hunter. Check out the size of those feet!

Tom, I'm not sure but I would guess about 30-40 meters.
