[mou] more on airport snowy owl

To add to Derek Bakken's posting:

Before Derek arrived at the airport, the owl had been perched on a 
runway marker with the #1 on it, in the same airfield, to the south of 
the UPS facility. We drove into a parking area nearer the Cargo Road 
entrance to try for a closer view. We noticed the airport plows starting 
to work the strips, and this apparently moved the bird to the lamppost 
retreat in Derek's photo. Another friend who'd been there earlier in the 
day reported that he'd seen the bird in the opposite field, north of the 
de-icing building with the blue tanks. Evidently it favors the hunting 
prospects on the east side of Cargo Road, but be sure to check both sides.
