[mou] MSP Airport Snowy Owl

[Sharon Stiteler]

A group of birders were at the Minneapolis/St Paul Airport to see the  
Snowy Owl.  It looks like we've been viewing the owl in a restricted  
area.  There's an opened fenced in parking lot with the electrical  
trucks and other cars parked inside.  This is only for construction  
crews on the airport.  The officer that approached us this evening  
told us that the area will now have the gate locked to keep birders  
out.  If the gate is open birders are still not allowed in.

Meanwhile, I live seven blocks from the Minneapolis snowy owl that  
was found this morning.  I heard the crows in the neighborhood going  
bonkers about 9:30am, I wonder if they were chasing it my way?
