The Raptor Trust released a rehabilitated Snowy Owl in the Shawangunk
Mountains on March 29 (see this New Yorker article
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/06/inside-the-avian-clinic-wild-bird-fund.html).
If it's that bird, it was already originally picked up near LaGuardia
airport with a gunshot wound. It would be a shame if it were shot again.
It was rehabilitated first at the Wild Bird Fund and then taken to the
Raptor Trust. The bird was named "Hedwig" and had a lot of followers.
Perhaps the story will help to protect it. There's a photo of it in the
article.

Perhaps a bit of optimism is needed here... Consider that this Snowy Owl
is being extremely well-protected in its current location. The security
guards and most other humans would recognize the simple beauty and
unusual timing of this fantastic bird. I'd like to believe that the owl
will be provided the greatest protection.
Perhaps this is a fine example of how even Birdwatcher's should keep
away from the area. I would like to hope that everyone would be mindful
of the bird's safety as opposed to acting in a manner that simply aims
for a personal life list addition.
Happy Birding,

If they do, it would be a violation of State and Federal Laws. They
might end up on the other side of the bars if so.

Ken McDermott called earlier to report that the SNOWY OWL that
Curt discovered yesterday was seen again today.
It has been near the Wallkill Correctional Facility.
Yesterday it was near McKendrick Road west of Rt. 208 on
correctional facility property.
You can drive the perimeter roads looking for the owl. But...
Word of caution: This is a prison. There are Prison Guards
patrolling the grounds - where the owl has been seen.
Just don't get out of your car, walk around or set up scopes,
cameras, or anything else that might make them nervous.
They are serious.
Amazing, eh?
