Re: [Maine-birds] Snowy Owl YES

Hey RogerOff of Aviatation Blvd is a parking and viewing area, found here. It is a convenient place to park and view the area. While it doesn't allow you to see the entire Jetport, it does give you a good view of about half of it. This is where I usually go to see the Snowy Owls and am usually successful here. You can often find Snow Buntings here as well.https://www.google.com/maps/place/Portland+International+Jetport/@43.6421424,-70.309236,367m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xfbc7a5854bf63ecf!8m2!3d43.6464785!4d-70.3096974Additionally,...

To all coming down to the Jetport to see the Snowy Owls, please be aware of the impact we have as birders. I ran across this article last night and it looks like the Jetport has its concerns. Please make sure you obey all posted signs and use good common sense when looking for these birds. We obviously do not want to jeopardize the birds or jetport operations in the process. http://wgme.com/news/local/snowy-owls-cause-problems-at-the-jetportCheers, RobOn...
