http://www.woodtv.com/news/local/grand-rapids/snowy-owls-shot-at-ford-airport Too many owls up North this year per aviation officials. Have shot 9 so far, and have just started trying to trap the owls using pigeons as bait.

Interesting. Maybe they should try to understand why there are so many more of them in the state this season. They don't increase numbers or move into new areas on a whim.Somethings' up.
