Snowy Owl Released on Plum Island

Good morning, Snowy lovers (and aren't we all Snowy lovers this season?). Yesterday afternoon Mass Audubon's Norm Smith released a Snowy Owl at Plum Island that he had trapped at Logan Airport. As is always the case with Norm Smith, it was a compelling event. There were at least 200 people on hand for the memorable occasion. Here are some video memories of the exhilarating program.....

Enjoy.... Johngarp
