Lanphear LIVE! Presents: Norman Smith, The Snowy Owls of Logan Airport

Presented by Norman Smith, Raptor Specialist

Snowy Owl Project, Mass Audubon, Lincoln, MA

Since 1981, raptor specialist Norman Smith has spent countless days and nights, in every imaginable weather condition, observing, capturing, banding, and relocating Snowy Owls from Logan International Airport. Affectionately called “the Owl Man of Logan Airport,” Smith has single-handedly relocated more than 900 of these magnificent birds, gathering valuable data on their roosting patterns, hunting behavior, and seasonal movements. Enjoy a screening of this award-winning documentary short about his work, followed by a live presentation and Q&A with Norman to find out what he has learned, what questions remain and how this project expanded to include studies of Northern Saw-whet Owl populations.
