Increased Presence Of Snowy Owls In Md. Poses Threat To Aviation

It’s not the usual type of bird you’d see flying around BWI but airport wildlife workers recently captured and relocated a snowy owl.

Monique Griego has more on how and why they keep track of these types of animals.

Because wildlife—mostly birds—can pose such a threat to airplanes, BWI has a system it uses year-round to reduce the danger.

In December, the airport’s USDA Wildlife Services team safely captured and relocated a snowy owl.

    They will either survive or be sucked into the jet engines! I can't see relocating the airport over this, can you?

    The problem is being sucked into the engines. People die when that happens. And Sullivan retired, so good luck with that.

    Better fly away from Maryland snowey owl or DNR will put you in a man made habitat because they know what's best for you.

    Over the last few months I've seen an increasing # of birds of prey in the Wicomico Co area.Bald Eagles and Hawks mostly.I still can't figure out why I'm seeing Owls flying during daylight hours.Before last week I had never witnessed that.
