      PHOTOS: Rare snowy owl spotted at Smithville Lake

      A snowy owl was spotted Tuesday near a campground at Smithville Lake. The large owl sat on branch well hidden from view. The Missouri Department of Conservation said snowy owls are rare for the area, since the species normally lives in the high artic region of North America. Once every four years or so, experts say snowy owls will sometimes spend their winter in Northern Missouri.
