Doug Beattie and I went to the Syracuse airport today to see a Snowy Owl.We began at the free parking lot near the construction lot and spent about an hour visiting various spots We finally returned to the free parking and noted a very white Snowy Owl atop a tower behiind some snow dumpings. It was atop the top left of the tower and preened and stretched, oftentimes looking away from us. We wondered what the owls were eating. Shortly afterwards we noted 6 Homing Pigeons (Rock Doves) and wondered if the pigeons were the menu. Jerry LazarczykGrand Island NY

The snowy owls have been seen along the entrance road to the airport, near the C& S engineers building, on top of the parking garage, light poles, and the terminal building, north of the airport terminal, and on the snow piles near the runways. In short, these birds move around, so be careful when driving around the airport and be mindful of the parking regulations.
