Historic influx of Arctic Snowy Owls likely to last until spring
The Northeast, including New York and other Great Lakes states, is enjoying what could be the largest-ever influx of Arctic Snowy Owls. And more may be on the way.
The killing of some owls at New York City airports has provoked an outcry against the practice, which was deemed necessary to prevent owls from being sucked into plane engines and raising the risk of a crash. The Port Authority announced it would move toward non-lethal trap-and-release methods.
