Last winter more Snowy Owls invaded the northeastern U.S. than in any winter in more than 100 years. Inspired by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Project SNOWstorm fitted 23 Snowy Owls with GPS transmitters to track their movements every 30 minutes 24 hours a day. This data provided unprecedented insight into the lives of Snowy Owls during their winter visits to the U.S. This talk will present some of the surprising discoveries made from this data.

Don Crockett is the developer of the interactive Google Maps app that is used on the Project SNOWstorm website to explore the Snowy Owl GPS data. Don is from Connecticut and has been developing birding websites for 20 years. Project SNOWstorm website: projectsnowstorm.org
