Watch as a team of intrepid filmmakers from PBS’ Nature series provides an intimate look at the snowy owl, a bird made popular by Harry Potter’s faithful companion Hedwig. 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 the frozen world.

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all UI-sponsored events. For more information on the UI Pentacrest Museums and the UI Museum of Natural History, visit www.uiowa.edu/mnh or call 319-335-0606.
