I have a huge favor to ask of everyone. It is no secret that snowy owls are
showing up on eastport drive in large numbers. Last night we had our 3rd
owl hit by a car. The owls are coming over to the lines of photographers
and then hanging out on the road. If everyone could please resist the urge
to photograph them here we could very likely save the lives of many of
these owls. I can only speculate why these birds are flying over to groups
of people when they setup to photograph them but it sounds likely that they
are associating people with food. Without starting up that debate I only
ask that people please do not stop on eastport drive to photograph them for
the owls sake. Thanks
