Snowy Owls at Parker River

As birders and nature photographers already know, snowy owls are often seen in this region during the winter months.   But where do these magnificent animals come from?  And why is their seasonal occurrence so variable from year to year?  And what to do about the “snowies” that are attracted to the tundra-like landscape that surrounds the runways at Logan International Airport?  These compelling questions, and many more, will be addressed by Massachusetts Audubon’s Norman Smith, who will present a narrated slide program at the refuge visitor center.  Mr. Smith has been heading up the effort to trap and relocate snowy owls from Logan for many years.
