A while ago a NPS Police vehicle drove by the Snowy Owl on the closed central
runway and flushed it. Eventually, after a brief time at a couple of different
perches (including up in a tree), and after drawing some attention at this
point from some American Crows, it flew off in the direction of Jamaica Bay. It
was not clearly evident in a short time of looking after that, but maybe
somebody still on site can correct me and say it's returned.

There is currently a Snowy Owl at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FIELDS ARE OFF LIMITS TO PEOPLE.
NPS Police do patrol the area just about constantly. If you see anyone
harassing the Owl while you are here, please tell one of them.
This is a unique opportunity for people who have no vehicular access to view
one of these gorgeous animals, so if you come please be considerate to both the
bird and to the people who have yet to see it.
Good Birding,
Doug Gochfeld. Brooklyn, NY.
