Current Goal

My name is Hedwig and I played the dependable personal courier of Harry Potter in the movie. I am really a snowy owl. Like the owls in the Harry Potter stories, which were used to deliver important messages from one character to another, real owls can also convey signals about the health of the habitat upon which they depend as well as the dangers these habitats face.

About This Item

Hedwig

The snowy is one of 140 bird species found in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America's greatest wildlife sanctuary. This spectacular refuge -- located in the northeast corner of Alaska's North Slope -- is under threat from the oil companies that want to drill there. The impacts on sensitive wildlife from oil exploration could threaten the lives of birds, polar bears, wolves, caribou and other animals. Oil development in the refuge could mean an uncertain future for snowy owls and other species that call the refuge their home.



You can "send an owl" (a free email) to President George W. Bush urging him to not allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at the following Web Site:

**PS Hedwig the "travel bug" has a very special messenger for all you Geocachers that FIND & RELEASE him (so he can continue spreading his message), unroll the scroll in his talons.

Found Hedwig this morning while caching with my son and nephew. My kids are huge Harry Potter fans so Hedwig will enjoy his visit with us.

Well, imagine my surprise when we opened the cache and this fella jumped out! Was on our vacation in the Smokey Mountains, when we found her/him (?) and wouldn't you know it, he/she (?) followed us all the way home to Ohio. Well, we'll get him/her (?) back into circulation this week (hopefully).

Chevy girl here. Hubby was with me when we picked him up. We are going to take him back to South Carolina with us. He seems to be in good shape. I was so happy to find him. Thanks!

Located this dude hiding in the bushes in a state park. Figured I'd take him a provide a good feed before turning him loose.
