Although it has been shown that SOVT therapies favorably change transglottal airflow, perhaps directly paying attention to flow phonation as a âreference sensationâ may offer patients a viable way of increasing awareness of voice production. This presentation will highlight this interrelationship
Nyctea scandiaca. The snowy owl nests in the arctic tundra in northern Canada and Alaska. But during many winters, this large, white raptor comes to northern Minnesota to hunt voles, mice, and other small animals.
Given their small size and the cold climate, these little raptors must eat enormous quantities of food to keep their metabolisms burning. Northern saw-whet owls (Aegolius acadicus) also inhabit the periphery of the taiga. Instead of birds, saw-whet owls primarily prey on deer mice (Peromyscus ssp.) and other rodents. Some large species, such as snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus), also temporarily inhabit the taiga. Living there in the winter, some snowy owls migrate north in the summer and will travel great distances to find prey. More agile than other large owls, snowy owls can capture birds as large as geese when rodents are scarce.
