Salvail is a first-winter female snowy owl trapped Feb. 5, 2025, at the the Trudeau-Montreal International Airport, held for several weeks for rest and weight gain at Union québécoise de réhabilitation des oiseaux de proie (UQROP), and tagged by Dr. Guy Fitzgérald before being relocated away from the airport and released Feb. 26, 2025, near the Salvail River in southern Québec. Salvail’s transmitter was underwritten by generous contributions to Project SNOWstorm.
We are raising $15,000 this year for Snowy Owl research.
We're continuing our work this winter, learning more about these majestic Arctic predators, but we can't do it without your help. Your donation to Project SNOWstorm is tax-deductible through our institutional home, the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Pennsylvania, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
