Finding lessons in owl’s long flight

GPS helps Logan learn habits, prevent bird strikes

It was a direct round-trip flight plan: no layovers, no re-routes, just one 7,000-mile round trip between Logan International Airport and the Arctic Circle.

A snowy owl residing at Logan and outfitted with a GPS transmitter is being hailed as a loyal airport patron after it flew north for the summer, pit-stopped at the uppermost reaches of Canada, then beelined back to Logan.

Comments

Bravo to Logan/Audubon for their humane efforts regarding the birdstrike problem!

With all the political garbage and mid east infighting this story boost my soul. There may be hope for the rest of human kind. F.O.bruch MD Middlebury,VT
