I saw Deanne's posting just before going to the airport for a FedEx drop-off. So decided to take a look around... Located the snowy owl at 4:00 pm along the new runway, perched near the perimeter fence on some posts. Directions: Go to the United/Cont'l/AA Cargo/Freight buildings. The address of these buildings are 7550 22rd Ave S and 7550 23rd Ave S. At the end of their driveway is a gravel lot with several trailers and trucks labeled Premier Electrical. Walk into this lot, northward, to the far end (you'll see my tracks approaching the fence (to within 6 feet :-) Look northward, toward the flashing X of the runway. There will be a small hut in this line of sight. In front of the hut are a cluster of wooden posts. The owl was sitting on these posts. Don't know if it was a male or female. Not experienced enough with snowy owls! Sorry I couldn't post before dark, but just returned to my computer.
