This is a short documentary which contains very little information about Snowies and is very amateur in its filmmaking - both audio and video. It is out of focus, has bad sound and contains very few scenes of Snowies - none of which are closeup. It appears that neither of the two main filmmakers have any experience making documentaries or DVD's. I wish I had known all this before I bought it. Do not waste your money buying this DVD.

While the other reviewer is right that this is definitely an amateur production, I think that has more to do with the desire to get the fleeting subject while the filmmakers can, and their lack of a fancy budget and better equipment (lenses). The imagery is still impressive, if you just keep in mind that this is a low-budget independent production. The shots of the snowy owls in flight are wonderful, and leave you wanting more. It is definitely more aimed at the naturalist or ornithologist interested in these birds than it is a family-time DVD. Just know that and you'll still enjoy the adventure.
