made headlines across the northern states a few years ago. In Wisconsin, an airport had to develop a program to remove the majestic birds from dangerous areas. They utilized local falconers to trap and transport snowies to appropriat­e locations. After making sure the owls were healthy, they released them. I was fortunate enough to see the release of this beauty.
