Call it the year of the snowy owl. In just the past month, the powdery
white Arctic creatures have been spotted much farther afield than their
usual wintry habitats, with birdwatchersbird-watchers in the Northeast
reporting the most fruitful snowy owl sightings ofin recent memory. So it
comes as no surprise that record numbers of the birds have arrived at
Northeast airports, snowy owls’ preferred proxy for the Arctic tundra. And
as aviation officials grapple with the risks posed by the avian frequent
fliersowls, New York’s airports are now taking a cue from Logan
­International Airport and catching and releasing the birds, rather than
shooting them. JFK Airport made headlines Sunday when it was revealed that
officials had ordered staff to shoot snowy owls on sight after five of the
birds flew into airplanes at New York-area airports in the past two weeks.
