Snowy Owl Film Project

A Snowy Owl Comes to Cape Ann

A five part short film series, A Snowy Owl Comes to Cape Ann was created for young people in our community during the global pandemic while they are taking classes virtually and studying from home (and for adult Snowy lovers, too!). Please share with educators and kids you know who may be interested.

*For script advice, a sincere thank you is owed to Scott Weidensaul, who I met through contacting Project SNOWstorm.

Thank you to everyone for your very kind comments for this series. It has been a joy creating for such an enthusiastic audience ❤

Thank you for watching!

In addition to co-founding SNOWstorm, he is a co-director of Project Owlnet, and has directed the Ned Smith Center’s owl-banding project for 22 years.

Thank you to Jenny, Ellie, and Isla (Part Five: Snowy Owl Returns to the Arctic) for being excellent Snowy Owl stewards!
