Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents Nature Screen PBS Original NATURE Documentary “Magic of the Snowy Owl”

Nature Screen at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster presents PBS’ original NATURE documentary; Magic of the Snowy Owl during February School Vacation Saturday, February 16^th – Sunday, February 24, 2019 in the John Hay Room 11am-2pm*
 
A team of intrepid filmmakers provides an intimate look at the snowy owl, a bird made popular by Harry Potter’s faithful companion Hedwig. Though “snowies” naturally stand out for their beauty, intelligence and charm, in their eerie, bleak arctic home, it is their determination and survival skills that are truly magical. Throughout the long months of the Arctic winter, life is difficult, if not impossible, for all but the toughest and most experienced of animals. Snowy owls are built for the challenge, their every sense and skill honed to take on their frozen world. And when the brief Arctic summer approaches, bringing light back to the tundra, they embark upon an even more daunting challenge than keeping themselves alive. They breed and attempt to raise young in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Once summer arrives, they will have just 82 days of sunlight to successfully raise a family of helpless owlets until they are ready and able to fly.
