Snowy Owls: 26 Captured and Banded at Boston's Logan Airport [INTERVIEW]
Last year, 49 Snowy Owls from the Arctic were banded at Boston's Logan Airport. This year, 28 so far have been captured and banded. The birds seem to like airports because they resemble Arctic tundra: windy, barren. Researcher Norman Smith has studied the owls since 1981.
