Boston's Logan Airport is doing catch and release for the Snowy Owls - they bait with rodents, and catch them and move them away from the airport. Canada Geese are so numerous, they can take out more than just one engine and THAT'S what takes a plane down. Here is how Logan Airport deals with Snowy Owls: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/boston-airport-takes-approach-snowy-owls-article-1.1541847 On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 8:05 AM, Will Raup hoaryredp...@hotmail.com wrote: Through being an active birder in the Albany area and now being involved in e-bird, I've gotten to make some contact with the Air Traffic control folk at Albany International Airport. They are reluctant to report owls, because of situations like this. Basically, the Owls because of their size are a threat to airplanes taking off and landing. If I recall, they need to make an effort to discourage the owls from hanging out on the runway, but if those fail, then can and do shoot the owls. This is not limited to JFK, but can happen at any airport. While not ideal in my mind, you will be hard pressed to find anyone, especially in the government who would potentially risk hundreds of human lives for one, two or even 3 Owls. Its the same reason why Canada Geese are culled in many areas. Just another risk Snowy Owl's have to deal with when they come this far south.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Snowy Owls being shot at JFK
I did call the NYC phone # given this morning in order to register my sentiments re: Snowy Owls being shot at JFK. The call was routed to Albany where is was kindly and carefully explained to me that this issue needs to be addressed by the public in writing, hard copy, snail mail if it is ever going to reach the agency (DEC) that will most likely address it. The woman said that one should also request a reply with contact info. so that you can follow up if you want to. I asked about e-mailing and the woman said the way the system worked in Albany it should only be hard copy. They scan them into their system and then send all letters regarding a particular issue on the the agency that will most likely address it. She explained if it is not done by hard copy your complaints will enter a big black hole. For what it's worththis is the address I was given.
