Nature Screen at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster presents a double feature: Snowy Owls of Logan Airport, an award-winning, short-form documentary & Magic of the Snowy Owl an original PBS NATURE Documentary on Thursday, October 16 at 11:30am.
 
Snowy Owls of Logan Airport (9 minutes): Norman Smith has dedicated his life to protecting and relocating the snowy owls from Boston’s busiest airport runways. Called “the Owl Man of Logan Airport,” Smith has single-handedly relocated more than 900 snowy owls, creating the blueprint for how airports across the US and Canada can manage wildlife conflict. Anna Miller’s short form documentary is the recipient of the 2025 American Conservation Film Festival’s Audience Choice Award, the 2025 New Bedford Film Festival’s Best Documentary Short Award, and the 2024 Mystic Film Festival’s Best New England Film Award, among others.
 
Magic of the Snowy Owl (60 minutes): 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. Then, the brief Arctic summer approaches, bringing light back to the tundra, and they embark upon an even more daunting challenge than keeping themselves alive: breeding and raising 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.
